Managing AVMs and VNEs

6.8.5Polling Tab

When customizing polling rates, special consideration should be given to the following:

Fast polling rates (30 sec) provide high data accuracy

Fast change tracking (VC table, profile changes) and accurate flows vs.

Constant polling generating high NE CPU utilization, high network traffic, polling overlaps, and starvation for scheduled polling

Slow polling rates (30 min) will affect data accuracy

Slow change tracking, stuck flows, invalid information

vs.

Low NE and network utilization, complete polling cycles

Warning: Changing polling rates may result in excess traffic and Network Element crashes.

The Polling tab enables the administrator to:

Associate a VNE with a previously created polling group.

Customize polling intervals for a VNE. Different polling intervals can be defined, namely:

Status: Typically, would be the most frequently polled information reflecting the current operational state of the element and its components.

Configuration: Reflects more dynamic element configuration such as forwarding, routing and switching tables.

System: Reflects element configuration that is less dynamic in nature.

Topology: Reflects topology connections at different layers.

In addition, a polling interval can be configured for a class of devices, for example, for all Cisco routers.
