Setting Default Description
SNMP Timeout
(3-60 sec)
3 Sets the time, in seconds, that W-AirWave waits for a response from a device
after sending an SNMP request.
SNMP Retries
(1-40)
3 Sets the number of times W-AirWave tries to poll a device when it does not
receive a response within the SNMP Timeout Period or the Group's Missed
SNMP Poll Threshold setting (1-100). If W-AirWave does not receive an
SNMP response from the device after the specified number of retries, W-
AirWave classifies that device as Down.
NOTE: Although the upper limit for this value is 40, some SNMP libraries still
have a hard limit of 20 retries. In these cases, any retry value that is set above
20 will still stop at 20.
