Disabling Rate Limiting in AMP Setup > General
The SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices option adds a small delay between each SNMP GET request, which
results in the actual polling intervals that are longer than what is configured. For example, setting a ten-minute polling
interval will result in an actual 12-minute polling interval. Disabling rate limiting is recommended in most cases.
To disable rate limiting in W-AirWave, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to AMP Setup > General.
2. Locate the Performance section.
3. In the SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices field, select No, as shown in Figure 2.
4. Click Save.
