Timeout

 

Length of each retry of each polling

 

 

waiting period. When accessing the

 

 

device through a slow link, you may

 

 

want to increase the timeout interval

 

 

and then change the Retransmission

 

 

Strategy to superlinear.

 

 

 

Trace

 

If selected, you can perform trace

 

 

routes.

 

 

 

Listen for Traps

 

If selected, Device Manager will listen

 

 

for a trap.

 

 

When you operate Device Manager

 

 

from a UNIX platform, you must be

 

 

logged in as root in order to receive

 

 

traps.

 

 

By default, traps are sent in SNMP

 

 

V2c format. However, if you are using

 

 

an older network management system

 

 

(NMS) that supports only SNMP V1

 

 

traps (HP OpenView), you can select

 

 

that the traps be sent in V1 format.

 

 

The management station operating with

 

 

Device Manager is automatically added

 

 

to the device trap receiver table.

 

 

 

Max Traps in Log

 

The maximum number of traps that can

 

 

exist in the trap log. The default is 500.

messages are captured on. The default

 

 

port for trap messages is 162.

 

 

 

Listen for Syslogs

 

If selected, Device Manager will listen

 

 

for syslogs.

 

 

 

Confirm row deletion

 

If selected, Device Manager will send

 

 

a message when a system table row

 

 

is deleted.

 

 

 

Default Read Community

 

The default Read Community type.

 

 

You can edit this field by highlighting

 

 

the current value and typing over it.
