Setting the Device Manager properties
Device Manager communicates with the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The software is shipped with
default values set for important communication parameters, such as the polling
interval, timeout, and retry count. You may want to set the parameters before you
open a device to manage.
To set the Device Manager properties:
1
Choose Device > Properties.
The Properties dialog box opens (
Figure 19
).
Note:
On startup, Device Manager performs a DNS lookup for the
machine on which it is running. If the DNS lookup is slow or fails,
the initial Device Manager window may take up to 30 seconds to open.
