Configuring Network Monitoring Requests
Table 7-3 recommends two monitoring requests for each node. With these
requests, you would see events when a LAN card failed, and again when it
came back up, and you would 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.
