7.4Managing Polling Groups

This section includes the following:

Polling Groups Overview, below, provides general information about polling groups.

Customizing a Polling Group, page 116, describes how to customize new polling groups using Sheer DNA Manage.

Modifying a Polling Group, page 118, describes how to modify existing polling groups using Sheer DNA Manage and view polling group properties.

Deleting a Polling Group, page 119, describes how to delete polling groups.

Adaptive Polling, page 119, describes adaptive polling for VNEs.

7.4.1Polling Groups Overview

The Sheer DNA Unit servers poll the NEs to discover and display accurate and up-to-date information of the network. The system periodically triggers polling at set intervals. The polling rates can be customized or optimized by the administrator.

Sheer DNA provides the ability to fine-tune the frequency in which information is retrieved from the managed elements in order to enable a high degree of control and flexibility over the amount of network traffic used by the various VNEs. Different polling intervals can be set for gathering the information for:

Status. Sets the polling rate for status-related information, such as device status (up/down), port status, admin status and so on. The information is related to the operational and administrative status of the NE.

Configuration. Sets the polling rate for configuration-related information, such as VC tables, scrambling and so on.
