AirDefense uses a centralized polling feature to manage configuration audits, status polling, and data collections from a single location.
Polling preferences are configured from the Discovery Profile screen. Use the Polling Preferences area of the Discovery Profiles screen to configure your polling profiles.
You can configure different polling preferences for each node in your AirDefense hierarchy. To do so, you must select the correct node in the Structure & Tags area of the Discovery Profiles screen. After selecting the scope, you can apply the polling preferences to the scope.
Use the 
icon
in this control to view the current polling preference values. This
information is displayed in a separate window.
The Enable Configuration switch is only available at the top most node of the Structure & Tags pane. Configurations can only be applied when this switch is set to ON. The top most node is always named ADSP and you must use this switch to apply the selected configuration through out the Extreme AirDefense system.
By default, any level in the Structure & Tags pane always inherits configuration from the level above it unless explicitly overridden.
Since Extreme AirDefense manages its devices using a hierarchy that is configured using the Structure & Tags pane, all the nodes under the top ADSP node inherit the configurations set at that node. However, you can override the inherited configuration at any level in the hierarchy.
To override the inherited settings, in the Structure & Tags
pane, select the node where you want to override the inherited configuration. Then
from the 
control, select the Override option. Note
that the Inherited from
: control always displays the name of the level from which the
configuration settings are inherited from. Use this information to orient your self
on how the configurations are inherited.
Change the configuration for the selected level as required and then use the APPLY button to implement the modified configuration settings. These settings will now be inherited by all levels below the selected level unless a sub-level has been explicitly overridden.
