ViewRunner Settings

This chapter explains how to set Cisco 6100 addresses for managing different Cisco 6100s in your network, and how to set certain ViewRunner preferences.

5.1 Cisco 6100 Addresses

You can specify addresses of various Cisco 6100s in the network using the Cisco 6100 Addresses window. You access this window through the ViewRunner Options menu.

This screen allows you to specify preferences such as:

The polling interval for alarms and events
The SNMP timeout value if ViewRunner is having trouble discovering a Cisco 6100
Whether or not to have ViewRunner automatically discover the Cisco 6100 equipment upon startup (If you leave this unchecked, you must discover the Cisco 6100 equipment for each Cisco 6100 using the Edit >> Discover menu option or the icon.).

The following is the ViewRunner Preferences window.
