Managing the Hub at the Device Level 2-27
Using the TRMMIM Hub View
Device General Status
This polling interval controls how often the Hub View Front Panel Information,
such as Uptime, Device Name, etc., and some network, module, and port status
information is updated.
Device Configuration
Indicates when SPMA polls the device for the type of equipment installed in the
TRMMIM-managed hub; information from this poll would change the Hub View
to reflect the addition and/or removal of a MIM or MIMs.
Port Operational State
Indicates at what interval SPMA polls the device for the status of the individual
ports. This is represented in the color-coded port display format in the Hub View.
Statistics
This polling interval controls how often the Statistics windows are refreshed. The
Statistics windows are available from the Device and Station Port menus.
You can save changes made to the polling window as defaults. After you have
saved a polling configuration as a default it will be used as the polling interval
each time you open the window while the Use Defaults option is selected. These
update intervals will replace your current default values. To save your changes as
defaults for all your Token Ring Management Modules:
1. Change the Polling Intervals as necessary (follow the steps in the section
above).
2. Select the Save as Defaults option.
3. Click mouse button 1 on to save the changes you have made to
the window. The polling intervals you have entered will now be used as the
default values for all Token Ring Management Modules.
If you have made changes to the Polling Interval window, but have not saved
them as defaults, you can revert to the default values by selecting the Use
Defaults
option. If you leave this option selected, the window will appear with
the default values each time you open the window. Use the following steps to
activate this option:
1. Select the Use Defaults option from the Polling Intervals window.
2. Click mouse button 1 on to save the Use Defaults option.
Subsequent openings of the Polling Interval window will use default values.
NOTE
SPMA generates network traffic when it retrieves the information described above; keep
in mind that shorter intervals mean increased network traffic. Range limits for these
polling times are 0-999,999 seconds; however, an entry of 0 will be treated as a 1.
