Chapter 552
Configuring Network Monitoring Requests
Table 5-3 recommends two monitoring requests for each node. With these
requests, you will see events when a LAN card failed, and again when it
came back up, and you will see an event every hour that the LAN card was
down. You may elect to change the polling interval or not to configure a
reminder at all.
