Configuration 699
Specifying Retries and Timeout Periods at the Device Level
If you wish to change the number of retries and timeout periods for a
particular device, open the Retry/Timeout tab of the device’s Properties
dialog box:
Figure 370 Retry/Timeout Tab
By default all devices will inherit their settings either from their subnet or,
if the device is in multiple subnets, from the Tools > Options dialog box.
In order to change the number of retries and timeout periods for a device
you will need to uncheck the Use defaults from option, after which you
can set the number of retries and timeout periods for the device.
At the device level, the Retry/Timeout tab of the Properties dialog box
only allows you to change the number of retries and timeout period for
the type of requests that 3Com Network Director uses to manage and
monitor the device. For example, if a device has SNMP capabilities then
you will be able to configure the number of retries and timeout period for
SNMP requests.
