SNMP Configuration is the method you use to tell netmon how to poll the
devices in your network. It is how you would tell netmon what their polling
cycles should be, what their alternative community names are, and so on.
If nodes do not support SNMP you can still control their status polling
(ping cycle) from here.
You might want to read the NetView Administrator's Guide on Polling and
SNMP (chapter 6). You should have installed the dynatext books as part of
the NetView installation, and can get to the Library from Help on the menu
when you bring up a map.

Subject: Re: Polling Timeout Setting
Thanks for the information:
I was under the impression that the SNMP configuration
values were for resources running SNMP. Will this also
change the values for Non-SNMP objects as well?
Thanks again,
Jan
