Setting the Maximum SNMP v3 Requests per Cycle

NerveCenter allows you some control over SNMP v3 overall performance by setting the maximum number of SNMP v3 requests per processing cycle. An SNMP v3 processing cycle occurs approximately every second.

The value you enter determines the number of requests NerveCenter processes simultaneously for all v3 operations including classification, SNMP Test Version poll, version change to or from v3, authentication protocol change, security level change, initialization requests, and others.

When deciding the rate of v3 requests, you should consider how many SNMP messages per second your network devices can and should handle. Also consider whether the messaging uses authentication and privacy keys, which can slow down performance even more.

 
  To set the maximum number of SNMP v3 requests:

1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate NerveCenter Server. See Connecting Administrator to a NerveCenter Server on page 38.
2. Select the Classify tab.

   The Classify tab is displayed.

   

3. In the Maximum Requests Per Cycle field, enter the maximum number of SNMP v3 requests you want NerveCenter to process. The default value is 20.
4. Select Save.

NerveCenter will handle SNMP data according to these settings.
