Key Considerations The following section provides some useful advice when using the Reports feature in 3Com Network Director.

Report Information The information that appears in Reports is based on information held in Out-of-Datethe current map file. If changes have occurred since the last discovery

operation, the report will contain out-of-date information. The one exception to this is the Prioritization Configuration report, which uses SNMP queries on your network devices to generate this report.

Disk Usage Generated reports are not aged or deleted automatically in any way. Therefore, over a period of time, the number of reports stored on disk will build up. One generated report will take up approximately 4KB to 5KB, depending on the number of devices reported on. You can delete generated reports from the History tab of the Reports dialog box.

If you have more than 500 generated reports stored, 3Com Network

Director will display a warning when you launch the Reports dialog box.

This is purely for information and will not affect the operation of 3Com

Network Director in any way.
