Increasing the Time-out Period and Number
of Retries for Switches in Progress
If you are having difficulty obtaining information from switches with SNMP connections during
Discovery Data Collection/Get Details, you may need to increase the time-out period and the
number of retries. By default, the management server gives a switches five seconds to respond to its
requests for information during Discovery Data Collection/Get Details. If the switch does not
respond the first time, the management server tries again. The management server says it cannot
contact the switch if it does not receive a response from the switch a second time.
