7.4.1 Polling Groups Overview
The Sheer DNA Unit servers poll the NEs to discover and display accurate
and up-to-date information of the network. The system periodically triggers
polling at set intervals. The polling rates can be customized or optimized by
the administrator.
Sheer DNA provides the ability to fine-tune the frequency in which
information is retrieved from the managed elements in order to enable a high
degree of control and flexibility over the amount of network traffic used by
the various VNEs. Different polling intervals can be set for gathering the
information for:
• Status. Sets the polling rate for status-related information, such as device
status (up/down), port status, admin status and so on. The information is
related to the operational and administrative status of the NE.
• Configuration. Sets the polling rate for configuration-related
information, such as VC tables, scrambling and so on.
