hlHostControlNlMaxDesiredEntries
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hlHostControlNlMaxDesiredEntries
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.1.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-create
Description:
The maximum number of entries that are desired in the nlHostTable on behalf of this control entry. The probe will not create more than this number of associated entries in the table, but may choose to create fewer entries in this table for any reason including the lack of resources.
If this object is set to a value less than the current number of entries, enough entries are chosen in an implementation-dependent manner and deleted so that the number of entries in the table equals the value of this object.
If this value is set to -1, the probe may create any number of entries in this table. If the associated hlHostControlStatus object is equal to `active', this object may not be modified.
This object may be used to control how resources are allocated on the probe for the various RMON functions.
What is hlHostControlNlMaxDesiredEntries?
This operator-settable limit caps how many unique network-layer hosts the probe will track before halting new discoveries. Set it lower to conserve memory or higher to capture more hosts. If your segment has 500 active hosts and you set this to 200, the probe stops tracking new hosts beyond that limit.
