Enabling and disabling polls
To activate Network Manager polling, you must enable the poll policies.
Before you begin
Tip: You can change the settings for a poll before enabling it. When
creating your own poll policies, use the default poll policies as
examples.
About this task
By default, only the chassis ping poll is enabled. You must enable other poll
policies that you want to use.
Note: If you are enabling poll policies for a large number of devices, it is
best practice to wait until the poll policies are fully enabled before using the Network Polling GUI
to make any changes to the poll policies. Any changes to a poll policy cause the Polling engine,
ncp_poller, to restart the poll policy, and this can have unpredictable results if
ncp_poller was in the process of enabling poll policies. Use the
Status and Enabled columns in the Configure Poll Policies section of the Network Polling GUI to determine if a poll policy has been enabled.To enable or disable polls:
