Setting Up Recommended Timeout and Retries

To set recommended timeout and retries settings, follow these steps:
1. In the Device Setup > Communication page, locate the SNMP Setting section.
2. Change SNMP Timeout setting to a value or either 3, 4, or 5. This is the number of seconds that the AirWave
will wait for a response from a device after sending an SNMP request, so a smaller number is more ideal.
3. Change SNMP Retries to 10. This value represents the number of times AirWave tries to poll a device when
it does not receive a response within the SNMP Timeout Period or the Group's Missed SNMP Poll Threshold
setting (1-100).
NOTE: Although the upper limit for this value is 40, some SNMP libraries still have a hard limit of 20 retries. In these cases, any
retry value that is set above 20 will still stop at 20.
