Nortel 8600 Manuel D’Utilisation

Setting the Device Manager properties

Timeout

Length of each retry of each polling
waiting period. When accessing the
device through a slow link, you may
want to increase the timeout interval
and then change the Retransmission
Strategy to superlinear.

Trace

If selected, you can perform trace

Listen for Traps

If selected, Device Manager will listen
for a trap.
When you operate Device Manager
from a UNIX platform, you must be
logged in as root in order to receive
traps.

By default, traps are sent in SNMP
V2c format. However, if you are using
an older network management system
(NMS) that supports only SNMP V1
traps (HP OpenView), you can select
that the traps be sent in V1 format.

The management station operating with
Device Manager is automatically added
to the device trap receiver table.
