Network Protocol Manager provides five default polling groups. Default Network Protocol Manager for BGP polling groups through Default Network Protocol Manager for OSPF polling groups list the default polling groups, their target classes, and their settings. The tables also identify the devices that are supported for the polling groups.

Three things to note about Default Network Protocol Manager for BGP polling groups through Default Network Protocol Manager for OSPF polling groups:

  • Only discovered objects that match the type and attribute values in the “Target class and matching criteria” column can become members of the group.

  • By default, all discovered objects that match the type and attribute values in the “Target class and matching criteria” column become members of the group.

    You can specify matching criteria for a polling group to limit its membership, as explained in “Edit matching criteria” on page 117.

  • The availability of a license for the VMware Smart Assurance Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS (the Adapter)determines whether the following additional polling groups appear:

    • 5620 SAM BGP

    • 5620 SAM Devices

    • 5620 SAM OSPF

      The 5620 SAM polling groups appear only if the Adapter license is available. The 5620 SAM polling groups are described in the VMware Smart Assurance Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS User Guide.
