Hi all

I have a problem with Netview thinking nodes go down allthough they are not
down (I checked all units uptime with SNMP after Netview has reported the
being down). I am monitoring another companys equipment across a 128kb
X-Line. Sometimes Netview looses contact with several devices on the other
side or sometimes all units, the next time it polls the status, all devices
are up again, this is the most common thing, but sometimes it can take as
long as 2-4 polls for Netview to actually discover that the devices are NOT
down. There are about 30 devices being monitored.

My SNMP Configuration looks like this

Timeout 5.0
Retry Count 10
Status Polling 2m

The problem is not because there are to much traffic on the 128kb
connection, it's only used for monitoring the network and sometimes we use
remote management software such as PC-Duo, but that's all. The 2 minute
status polling is probably to often but I will raise the once I get it to
work properly.

How high could the timeout and retry count be set in the worst scenarios?

Regards
