RP Polling

Using the RP Polling Configuration page, you can enable the CMM to:

1.

Monitor and report all leaves and joins

2.

Set a threshold on the number of groups that can join an RP if this is exceeded, a trap is sent

3.

Find out if a specific RP is available

4.

Create a list of all acceptable sources and groups and send a trap if any rogue sources or groups 
appear on the RP
