Although it is possible to place some router models under resource strain if you really try, I hear this excuse used often to create obstacles to monitoring certain router/switch sub-trees. I think it would be excellent if you could clear up once and for all what kind of load SNMP polling patterns would place on various common series of routers/switches. Bearing in mind many high end routers effectively implement their SNMP agents in dedicated feature cards, so overloading the route processors is not possible ... > Thanks for interesting mails. > > Regards, Traiano Welcome TENET ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
