Polling settings for IP availability monitoring

Through the polling settings for IP availability monitoring, you control the ICMP and SNMP connectivity polling of the managed network objects in your network. The polled information serves as input to IP Availability Manager‘s availability analysis of switches, routers, hubs, bridges, and other systems.

The IP Availability Manager provides the following polling settings for IP availability monitoring:

• Connectivity Polling

• Connectivity Polling - External Poller

• Connectivity Polling for IPv6 Addresses

• Connectivity Polling for IPv6 Addresses - External Poller

• Default IP_Route Connectivity Polling

  The “Connectivity Polling” and “Connectivity Polling - External Poller” settings are mutually exclusive, which means that only one or the other (but not both) can be applied to a polling group at any given time. The “Connectivity Polling for IPv6 Addresses” and “Connectivity Polling for IPv6 Addresses - External Poller” settings are also mutually exclusive.

  The IP Manager Reference Guide provides information on connectivity polling setting parameters and external poller settings.
