You can also set the interval at which the NSM Device Server polls for policy statistics
and protocol distribution events.

Atomic Updating Events

Devices running ScreenOS 5.0 and later support atomic updating, which enables the
device to receive the entire modeled configuration (all commands) before executing
those commands (instead of executing commands as they are received from the
management system). Atomic updating also might cause the device to temporarily lose
connection to NSM during the update process.
If the device cannot reconnect to the management system after processing the update,
it automatically reboots (with the previously saved configuration) and reconnects to the
management system. To prevent a device from rebooting or to configure the reboot
timeout, open a device configuration and select Report Settings > Events, then configure
the Atomic Updating options.
For details on Atomic Updating, see "About Atomic Updating—ScreenOS Devices" on
page 242.
Use SNMP settings to configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
agent for the managed device. The SNMP agent provides a view of statistical data about
the network and the devices on it, and notification of system events of interest. You can
configure the SNMP settings at the device level, or skip this section and configure the
GUI server to handle SNMP reporting; see "Exporting to SNMP" on page 787.
In addition to configuring the SNMP reporting settings, you also must enable SNMP
management service options on the interface through which the SNMP manager
application communicates with the SNMP agent in the managed device.
To configure SNMP settings and enable the device to send SNMP traps, open a device
configuration and select Report Settings > SNMP. Configure the following settings:
System Name—The name of the device for which you are generating SNMP status.
Contact Person—The name of the network administrator who manages the device.
This contact information is useful when the SNMP community member needs to
contact someone about the device.
Location—The physical location of the device.
Listen Port—The number of the port assigned to monitor SNMP traffic (listen and
transmit SNMP traps).
