hi!
if your router is configured for CDP Netview V6 will not question for the
ARP table. but what Netview does in ANY case is to question your
IpNetMediaTable (to be exact: four variables, each for every instance). it
asks for it ONCE every automatic scheduled "config poll" or "new node poll".
if you "demand poll" via the menu function or via command-line
"nmdemandpoll" Netview will ask for that table TWICE (because its kind of a
combination of "demand poll" and "config poll").
i guess your problem is a large ipNetToMedia table. check it with your MIB
browser.
what you can do now is:
- avoid manual "demand poll" as far as possible
- set "config poll" and "new node poll" via "options -> SNMP configuration"
to a large interval. i think, once netview has discovered your router you
should not need to schedule "demand poll" or "config poll" until you change
the router's config.
by the way: i have seen Cisco routers going up to 99 % CPU by demand polling
them. i think it is not proven that the router then has a real problem.
maybe it is using its CPU for SNMP because the ressources are just there?

Betreff: RE: [NV-L] problem with router cisco 2514
Hello Mauricio,
This question has indeed already been discussed in this Forum.
The problem is presumably that your 2514 has big ARP caches or other huge
tables and when your router dumps these tables to netmon, this consumes lots
of cpu resources.
Is this router the default gateway of many users (this would explain a huge
ARP cache) ?
I have read on this forum that NetView V6 was managing this better (by
taking advantage of the CDP)
Maybe you can search the Forum archives to get some pointers to this topic.
Hope this helps you a bit,
