5.

Stop the HAFM appliance Services by selecting the Start > Programs > HAFM > Stop

Services.
A DOS window displays messages of services being shut down.

6.

Increase the default SNMP settings. If the device is running heavy traffic or is known to have

slow SNMP response time, moderately increase the SNMP timeout (default timeout is one

second) and retry count (default count is one retry).

7.

These two values are controlled by two VMParameters residing in the

bin\HAFMService.ini

file when the application is running as a Windows service:

smp.snmp.timeout and smp.snmp.retries. For example, specifying

-Dsmp.snmp.timeout=5

” and “

-Dsmp.snmp.retries=1

” instructs the server to use five

seconds as the SNMP timeout and one retry as the retry count.

NOTE:

The higher the values, the longer discovery will spend waiting for a SNMP response. This

translates into slower system performance.

8.

Start HAFM Services by selecting the Start > Programs > HAFM > Start Services.
