Question: Can I poll an MIB Object from a MIB Table without polling the whole
table?
Answer:
Yes. As the SET-INDEX function learns the indexes of the particular MIB Table objects; the WITH-INDEX function passes the specific index that could be tested and if applicable passed to a POLL function against the specific desired MIB object.
Furthermore, the learnt (and tested) values could be stored in a new index list using the STORE-INDEX command; this leads to significantly reducing the frequency of SET-INDEX polling.
Question: Can I poll the whole MIB table using a walk or a bulk command?
Answer:
The Answer is No. Walk and Bulk type commands are not supported. A free copy of the popular Net-SNMP utility is included with the package to allow for an SNMP Walk command from the command line.
Question: Can I have a say of which data is stored in the database versus which is not?
Answer:
Yes. Special database variables could be created within the management scripts to store output values from polled MIB objects or other calculated variables.
Question: What is an AMZ and how is it supposed to help me manage my network?
Answer:
Short for Autonomous Management Zone; it is a logical grouping of Devices according to a common service, physical resource, type, function, and/or physical location etc, where a common management process (es) to be applied to the group as a whole.
It helps in provisioning management processes per logical groups of devices. This has serious implications on the network devices, the NMS, and the administration of both.
Question: Is there a limit to how many devices in a single AMZ?
Answer:
The answer is No. AMZs have no limit on the number of devices or indeed the number of objects being polled. There is no hard coded limit of any number of devices. Hence the focus should be on how well the devices themselves could respond to polling and on how large would the SQL database grow.
Question: Is there a limit on the number of AMZs that a managed device could belong?
Answer:
The answer is No. Any device could be part of any number of AMZs. A single device could be added to each AMZ with a particular set of communities (or secured users if SNMPv3 is used) where each set could represent an SNMP MIB View. However a device could not be added twice to the same AMZ.
