Periodic Polling

Periodic polling executes at a minimum time period of 30 minutes between polling cycles.

By default, Switch Port Management polls all known Ethernet switching devices every 60 minutes. This feature is called periodic polling. Polling performance relies on many factors, including the size of the network, link speeds, the number of ports in the switched networks, and other factors. If the appliance cannot complete polling within the specified time period, NetMRI performs the following:

  • Logs a warning that it has not completed polling within the specified period.

  • Completes the polling in progress and logs how long it took to finish.

Periodic polling settings can be adjusted globally and within each device group. Periodic polling provides for the following rates: 30/45/60/90 minutes, then every hour up to and including 24 hours.

NetMRI always logs the elapsed polling time period for any network device regardless of the installed license for the current instance.
