1) Yes, if you specifiy "Fixed Polling Interval" at five minutes, it will be
done more often than if you let NV do it automatically. Take into account that
generally you don't need such a short time interval for discovery polling,
especially with a great number of nodes. Think of the impact to the network or
NV.
2) Yes, as far as I know, those two places is where NV finds about new IP
addresses to discover.
3) Yes, absolutely.

Asunto: RE: [nv-l] SNMP status polling
Federico, then if new node discovery is set to discover new nodes
every 5 minutes it will do it more often than if we let NV to do it
when it estimates convinient(at automatic intervals)?
What is done in autodicovery?, polling the arp table of SNMP
supporting nodes? routing table?
In the configuration polling will NV try to SNMP all nodes even those
that right now does not support SNMP? This qusetion comes from the idea
that a non-SNMP node could change to support SNMP after it is
discovered.
Thanks
Inaki
