Setting the Device Manager properties
Device Manager communicates with the BayStack 380-24F 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 2).
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.
