Configuring the Polling Service

The Polling Service is an application that collects status information about managed devices by means of SNMP and redistributes that information to network management clients. This service eliminates the need for every client to poll devices individually for status and reduces the SNMP load placed on managed devices. The status must be updated frequently to maintain an accurate view of the device.

NOTE: The Security privilege is required to access the Polling Service tab. For more information, see Chapter 9, Configuring Security Settings.

To configure the settings in the Polling Service tab:

1. From the Configuration menu in either the Network Workshop or the Device Workshop, choose NMC-RX Application Settings, and then click the Polling Service tab.
2. Set the parameters (Table 10).
   
   
   Table 10: Polling Service Parameters

   Parameter	Default	Description
   SNMP Settings User Profile	admin	Specifies which user profile to use for SNMP settings.
   RMI Registry Port	1099	Port with which the Polling Service registers. This port is set during installation.

   
   
   

   NOTE: If you change the RMI Registry Port value, a warning dialog box appears prompting you to shut down and restart the Polling Service for the change to take effect.

   
   

If you set SNMP settings as a Polling Service user, the settings are used by the Polling Service when communicating by means of SNMP.

3. When you are done, click Save.
