To configure polling for a 7250 IXR, 7450 ESS, 7705 SAR, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, VSR, or Wavence SM

Purpose

Perform this procedure to configure polling and the schedule resynchronizing settings for a specified NE type. You can also optionally configure the system initialization commands configured in the BOF such as the primary/secondary/tertiary DNS addresses, Lawful Intercept settings, and the scaling profile that specifies the type of network scale usage that is applied to the hardware configured in the network. The parameters that display vary depending on the NE type, release, and the settings of other parameters.

Steps
 
1 

Choose Equipment or Routing from the navigation tree view selector, right-click on a supported NE, and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.

2 

Record the system IP address and the management IP address.

3 

If required, configure the Location parameters.

4 

Click on the Polling tab.

5 

Enable or disable the Scheduled Polling parameter as required. Scheduled polling is configured using the Mediation configuration form. See To configure device mediation for more information.

6 

If required, configure the Redundant Synchronization Mode parameter.

7 

Verify that the Persistent SNMP Indices parameter is set to true to ensure persistent SNMP indices are used.

8 

Configure the parameters in the Bof Configuration panel as required.

Note: To configure LI parameters, or view LI configuration information, you require LI user privileges. Right-click on a discovered device in the navigation tree and choose Properties from the contextual menu, and click on the LI Configuration Status tab.

Note: If you enable encryption, you must run bof save.

9 

View the read-only parameters to determine the current polling status:

  • Resync Status indicates whether the last poll was successfully completed.

  • Last Resync Start Time and Last Resync End Time indicate the start and finish of the last poll.

  • Scheduled Resync Status indicates whether the last scheduled poll was successfully completed.

  • Last Scheduled Resync Start Time and Last Scheduled Resync End Time indicate the start and finish of the last scheduled poll.

10 

Click on the Management tab and configure the required parameters.

The Auto Revert to Preferred parameter is configurable when the Management IP Selection parameter is set to Out Of Band Preferred or In Band Preferred.

Note: To avoid a communications outage between the NFM-P and managed NEs, the parameter settings in the Management Preference panel must match the parameter settings in the Notifications Preferred Management panel. See the Management IP Selection parameter description for more information.

If you want to transmit on in-band management on the 7705 SAR when both in-band and out-of-band management are both used, configure the Active Management IP, Auto Revert to Preferred, and Management IP Selection parameters as described in 7705 SAR management bandwidth .

Save your changes and close the form.
