This table is used to provide remote device monitoring facilities. 
          
The implementation allows a list of network devices to be set up 
and polled regularly (or only once) by a variety of protocols. 
The table can be configured to inform the management station(s) 
of devices that are not responding to polls or that have started 
to respond after a period of silence. 
          
The minimum effort required to do a single poll is 
1. In one packet, write the address and set a3ComPollAction to  
activate(2). 
2. In the next packet, read the a3ComPollReport. 
          
The minimum effort required to monitor a device is 
1. In one packet, write the address, set a3ComPollAttempts to 1,  
set a3ComPollCount to 0 and set a3ComPollAction to activate(2). 
2. Wait for traps to come in. 
          
A row in this table is created by setting any read-write member,  
indexed by the next available index (a3ComPollNextFreeIndex). This 
method of creation makes the table very user friendly, although 
a bit harder to detect racing conditions. The suggested method for 
racing condition detection is by checking the a3ComPollAddress and 
a3ComPollOwner objects while the a3ComPollReport object is set to 
active. An example of the indexing of this table is a3ComPollRate.2

a3ComPollEntry entry .1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.22.1.1

A table used to define device monitoring. A row in this table is
created by setting any read-write member, indexed by the next
available index (a3ComPollNextFreeIndex). An entry in this table is
deleted by setting a…

a3ComPollIndex

Column Syntax OID

a3ComPollIndex mandatory

Unique identifier of a row in the Poll Table. The actual number
of rows that can be created on any particular device depends on
the memory and processing resources available at the time.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.43.29.4.22.1.1.1

a3ComPollAddress mandatory

This DisplayString is the network address of the device to
monitor. Typically this is an IP, dotted IP format, IP's
hostname, IPX or AppleTalk. The following formats can be used:

This defines the method used to interpret the a3ComPollAddress,
which implies on the protocol to be used.

Writing an address to the a3ComPollAddress object causes a default
a3ComPollAddressType value …

a3ComPollCount mandatory

This integer is the number of ping packets to be sent out until
completion of a polling command. If count is set to continuous(0),
the remote device will be kept monitored and the a3ComPollReport
will be normally set…

a3ComPollAttempts mandatory

The number of unsuccessful or successful requests necessary before
deciding that the device is definitely not responding or responding.
In order to use traps, a value greater than one must be used.
Conversely, a val…

a3ComPollRate mandatory

This defines how often, in seconds, a poll packet is sent to
the device being polled.

If burst mode(0) is chosen, then number of packets selected will
be sent out as fast as possible when the a3ComPoll…

a3ComPollResponseTimeOut mandatory

Maximum wait time, in msecs, for a response packet before deciding
that no response arrived. This object differs from a3ComPollRate
as the device have the sending and receiving queues independent,
making it possible …

a3ComPollPacketSize mandatory

Size, in bytes, of ping packet to be sent out. If set to 0, the
default size for ping packet under the protocol chosen will be used.
If value given is to too large or too small, the biggest or smallest
possible pack…
