Configuration 695

There is a three level hierarchy in this mechanism:

■Whole Map: The Retry/Timeout tab in the Tools > Options dialog box allows you to configure the number of retries and timeout periods for requests sent to any device in the map. Unless you explicitly override the settings at the subnet or device level devices will use the settings you specify here.

■Subnet: The Retry/Timeout tab in the Properties dialog box for a subnet allows you to override the whole map settings for a particular subnet and so configure the number of retries and timeout periods for requests sent to devices within that subnet. Unless you explicitly override the settings at the device level devices within the subnet will use the settings you specify here.

■Device: The Retry/Timeout tab in the Properties dialog box for a device allows you to override the whole map and (if applicable) subnet settings for a particular device and so configure the number of retries and timeout periods for requests sent to that device.

Unless explicitly overridden at the device level, devices that appear in more than one subnet, such as routers and layer-3 switches, inherit the whole map settings directly rather than inheriting them from one of their subnets.

Specifying Retries and Timeout Periods at the Whole Map Level

To change the number of retries and timeout periods for the whole map, open the Retry/Timeout tab of the Tools > Options dialog box:
