Jane,
Global default says 5.0 in timeout, retry 3 and
pooling is 3m. Is this setting fair enough for any
environment?
Yes.. This has only single interface..
I knwo some time back had interface down traps from
this switch.. wonder what happened now... anyway
thanks.. i'll try and dig more into it..
Thanks all again..
Larry
