I was wondering if I could get more info on the IP Poller polling algorithm (I have read note 4798.*). I realize that this could change later in a later release. When it sends out the 50 ICMP echo requests at a time how does it determine the SNMP entities to include in that group of 50? Is it in alphabetical order based on the SNMP name in a domain? What the order, in the above situation, when you have domains within domains and you enable the IP Poller only in the topmost domain? What is the order that the alarms will fire when an entity is unreachable? Does the Poller wait for a group of 50 ICMP echo requests to complete and then process this list in alphabetical order?

The IP Poller does something equivalent to SHOW DOMAIN domain_name MEMBER * to get a list of IP entities to poll. The poller then polls each IP entity in turn, in batches of 50 starting from the first entity in the list. Thus the order of polling will be the same as the order you see in the SHOW DOMAIN ..... command. Rahul. | |||||
