Restricting discovery
You can restrict the discovery process to devices on specified subnets. Use the
Restrict Discovery dialog box to enter IP subnets that are available for discovery
by Optivity Switch Manager. Only devices on a listed subnet are displayed in the
Optivity Switch Manager contents pane.
To restrict discovery to certain subnets:
1 From the Optivity Switch Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Preferences.
2 Click Restrict Discovery.
The Restrict Discovery dialog box opens (Figure 12) .
SNMP Retry Count The number of times, between 0 and 5,
Optivity Switch Manager tries to connect to a
device using SNMP. (The default is 1.)
Timeout The amount of time, between 3 and 10
seconds, Optivity Switch Manager waits
before trying to connect to a device again.
(The default is 5.)
Max Outstanding
Requests The number of SNMP requests, between 20
and 250, that Optivity Switch Manager
maintains as open or outstanding. (The
default is 100.)
Trace If checked, additional SNMP information is
written to the Optivity Switch Manager error
log, and can provide assistance in
troubleshooting.
Note: Selecting Trace could slightly slow
down performance as extra information is
gathered.
