SNMP query response time

Post by jez_uk1 »

Hi Folks,

Back when I was using the 7800N I could poll SNMP data quickly, the router responded pretty fast and could be queried multiple times per second if required. Since moving to the 8800NL R2 and the 8900AX-2400 I've noticed they are both quite slow to respond, I haven't specifically timed it but a poll can take 500ms, maybe even as long as 1 or 2 seconds to get a response.

Is this by design / intentional, or something that could be changed or resolved?

Thanks very much

Just got a reply from our engineers, they stated as the code base is different you will get different timing when you poll the device, this cannot not be sped up
