Cabletron Systems SEHI-32/34 Enabling/Disabling Ports, Device General Status, Device Configuration

Using the SEHI Hub View

Device General Status

This polling interval controls how often the Hub View Front Panel Information — such as Uptime, Device Name, and so forth — and some port status information is updated.

Device Configuration

This polling interval controls how often a survey is conducted of the devices installed in your SEHI-controlled HUBStack.

Port Operational State

This polling interval controls the update of the information displayed in the Port Status boxes for each port in the device. Port state information includes link state (the color code) and admin state (on or off).

Statistics

This polling interval controls how often the information displayed in the Port Status boxes is updated when the Port Display Form is set to a rate or percentage, and how often the Device, Module, and Port statistics counts are updated.

NOTE

SPMA generates network traffic when it retrieves the above-described information; keep in mind that shorter intervals mean increased network traffic. Range limits for these polling times are 0-999,999 seconds; however, an entry of 0 will be treated as a 1.
