Performance Tuning for Node Classification

An enterprise network management product like NerveCenter is expected to monitor a huge network, and SNMP v3-specific operations for large numbers of nodes can cause bursts of traffic on the network. To help you to control this type of sudden SNMP v3-related rise of traffic on the network, the NerveCenter Administrator provides the Maximum Requests Per Cycle feature.

Whenever NerveCenter needs to:

• Automatically classify a group of nodes
• Manually classify a group of nodes
• Perform other SNMP v3-specific operations for a group of nodes

NerveCenter carries out these operations in small chunks of nodes specified by Maximum Requests Per Cycle. (As the cycle is approximately one second, this parameter is the number of requests per second.)

 
  To set the Maximum Requests Per Cycle:

---

Tip    A good recommendation is to set Maximum Requests Per Cycle to 500.

---

1. Open NerveCenter Administrator.
2. Connect to the NerveCenter server.
3. Select Classify tab.
4. In the Maximum Requests Per Cycle field, enter maximum number of requests you want NerveCenter to process approximately per second.
5. Select the Save button.
