Remote Polling

The Remote Poll screen allows you to send a single
frame to a remote device to see if that device is
responding. This can help to locate the source of a
network problem. It is also particularly helpful in
locating devices that support IP, IPX and ping but
are not manageable by SNMP.
To poll a device:
From the Main Menu, select Remote Poll. The
1
Remote Poll screen is displayed, as shown in
Figure 6-7.
In the Target Address field, enter the IP or IPX
2
address of the device you want to poll.
Select the POLL button at the foot of the screen.
3
When the poll is complete, the Round Trip Time
field shows the interval in milliseconds between
sending the frame to the target device and receiving
a response at the Switch. If the target device does
not respond after approximately 10 seconds, this
field displays no reply.
