The ViewRunner Preferences dialog box shown in Figure 6-5 displays.

Step 2 Go to the Polling Interval field in the Alarms and Events group box, and select a seconds value from the menu.

Step 3 Click the 1 Sec or 5 Sec setting in the SNMP Timeout Value group box. This sets the SNMP time-out value if ViewRunner cannot discover a Cisco 6100 Series system.

Step 4 If you want ViewRunner to discover the Cisco 6100 Series equipment upon startup, in the Misc group box, select the check box next to the phrase, "Automatically discover when opening Chassis View window."

If you leave this option unchecked, you must discover the Cisco 6100 Series equipment for each Cisco 6100 Series system using the Edit > Discover menu option or the Discover icon.
