| Enables or disables periodic polling of the device for updated status. If
polling is disabled, the chassis status will be updated only when the user
initiates a Refresh of chassis status.
|
| Status Poll Interval
| Interval at which statistics and status information are gathered (default is
300 seconds).
|
| Retry Count
| Number of times Device Manager requests polling information.
|
| Timeout
| Length of each retry of each polling waiting period. When accessing the device
through a slow link, you may want to increase the timeout interval and then
change the retransmission strategy to superlinear.
|
| Retransmission Strategy
| Can be one of the following:
Linear—sends a request based on retry count x timeout. For example, a retry count value of 3 and a timeout value of 3 means that information is requested three times at 3-second intervals. Superlinear—sends a request based on retry count x timeout (doubled). For example, a retry count value of 3 and a timeout value of 3 means that information is requested three times: First retry at 3 seconds Second retry at 6 seconds Third retry at 12 seconds |

and sluggish Device Manager response caused by the failed DNS resolution
attempts.
