Description
The time interval between
data refreshes for PBX alarms
and errors.
The time interval between
data refreshes for the PBX's
circuit pack and port
configuration.
The time interval between
polls for an alarm change.
If Fault Management polls the
Proxy Agent and detects an
alarm change, it refreshes the
data. If it does not detect an
alarm change, it does not
refresh the data. You must
balance how often you want
Fault Management to check
for changed alarm status and
then update the data versus
how much the refresh process
affects your network traffic.
