snmpStack.accessParameters database table

The snmpStack.accessParameters database table configures the way that the SNMP helper handles the retrieval of large non-scalar variables for particular devices or subnets.

Description

Any values inserted into this table override the values for m_GetNextBoundary and m_GetNextSlowDown that have been specified in the snmpHelper.configuration table.

Schema

The snmpStack.accessParameters database table schema is described in the following table:

Data type

Description

m_GeneralSlowDown

NOT NULL

Integer

The general amount by which to delay a request (in milliseconds). A general slow down must only be used where absolutely necessary as it can significantly increase the overall discovery time.

m_GetNextBoundary

NOT NULL

Integer

When retrieving a particular non-scalar SNMP variable from a device, this is the minimum number of GetNext requests to be issued before the delay specified by m_GetNextSlowDown is introduced.

m_GetNextSlowDown

NOT NULL

Integer

The delay (in milliseconds) to introduce between each SNMP GetNext request when the number of separate GetNext requests issued while retrieving a particular non-scalar SNMP variable exceeds m_GetNextBoundary.

m_NetAddress

NOT NULL

Text

The IP address on which to override the boundary and slowdown values.

m_NetMask  

Text

The netmask. If no netmask is specified, m_NetAddress is taken to be a single IP address. If a netmask is specified, m_NetAddress is taken to be a subnet address.

m_SnmpPort  

Integer

The SNMP port on the target device, or target devices if the device access configuration specified by this record is applicable to a subnet. If no value is specified for m_SnmpPort, then the value defaults to the standard SNMP 161 port.
