System. Sets the polling rate for system-related information, such as device name, device location and so on.

Topology Layer 1 Counters. Sets the polling rate of the topology process as an interval for the Layer 1 counter. This is an ongoing process.

Topology Layer 2 Counters. Sets the polling rate of the topology process as an interval for the Layer 2 counter. This process is available on demand.

Note: All polling rates are expressed in seconds.

In addition to the defined polling intervals, the VNEs implement adaptive polling ensuring that the element is not overloaded. Checking the device CPU, may defer specific polls in order to avoid an additional load on the managed element. For more information about adaptive polling, refer to page 119.

The user can define polling profiles by setting customized polling intervals, which can be applied to managed elements. The VNE then polls the network element according to the preset values. This ensures polling of devices for different information consistently and in accordance with technical and business requirements.

Core devices can be assigned to a polling group (namely, all devices use the same polling profile) that specifies a higher frequency for status but a lower frequency for configuration-related information while edge or access devices can be polled more frequently for system and configuration-related information. Managed Network Service operators for example, can use polling groups to reflect their agreement with customers so that premium customer devices are polled more frequently than normal devices.

Sheer DNA includes the pre-configured polling group “default” for the administrator’s convenience, which cannot be deleted. The default polling group includes the following settings:

Status polling rate is 60 seconds.

Configuration polling rate is 360 seconds.

System polling rate is 900 seconds.

Layer 1 polling rate is 9000 seconds.

Layer 2 polling rate is 9000 seconds.
