Polling interval too low Try increasing the polling interval. To increase the polling interval, select Options,
then Properties, and increase the value in the Timeout (secs): field. If the polling
interval is too low, CiscoView will time out.
Community string, name
resolution, or timeout problem
If CiscoView still fails, try running nmcview from the command line to determine
whether the problem is related to community string, name resolution, or timing out.
The nmcview command syntax is
nmcview[-hhost] [-c | -rd read community] [-C | -rw write
community] [-t timeout] [-r retries] [-P poll frequency]
