ANM

is

unable
to

retrieve

information

for
a
monitored
statistic,
it

displays

one

of

the

following
status
conditions

in

the

table

cell:

•
N/A
(Not

Available)—Indicates

that

ANM

was

unable
to
poll
the
device

for

the

information

for

one
of
the

following

reasons:

–

ANM

is

experiencing

polling

er

rors

with

th

e

device.

–

ANM

is

not

able

to

communicate

with

the

device.

–

If

a

poll

was

recently

initiated,

ANM

is

in

the

process

of

gathering

information

from

the

device.

•
Not
Supported—Indicates

that
the
device
does

not

have

the

capability

to

provide

the

information.
This
condition

can

be

caused

when

the

device

does

not

have

the

necessary

SNMP

instrumentation.
It
is

possible

that

another

similar

device

type

is

able

to

provide

the

statistical

information

because

it
has
been

updated

with

the

necessary

SNMP

instrumentation.

•
Not
Applicable—Indicates

that
the
particular
information

is

not
valid

or

not

applicable

for

the
device
type,

or

ANM

is

unable

to

retrieve

the

information

from

the

device

because

the

information
is
not

available

through

SNMP

for

the

device

type.
Before
using

the

Monitoring

functions,

make

sure

that

your

devices

are

properly

configured

for

polling
(see
