Enabling the Ping Throttle
Note: Increasing the time between consecutive pings generated by the ping engine lowers
the bandwidth required to support the ping engine, but increases the amount of time
required to ping monitored devices. Decreasing the time between consecutive pings
increases bandwidth requirements, but decreases the amount of time needed to ping
monitored devices.
Note: The Throttle pings by x msecs selection persists only if you have selected an option
other than the default. The default setting is 20 msec.
To enable the ping throttle:
1 From the console main menu, click Configure > Program Options.
2 Click the General icon. The General options appear.
3 Select Throttle pings by x msecs option and select the number of milliseconds you
want the ping engine to wait between consecutive pings.
4 Click OK. The Program Options dialog closes.

Important: The Microsoft SNMP Trap Listener must be disabled to enable the WhatsUp Gold
SNMP Trap Listener.

Options dialog appears.
2 Select Passive Monitors Listeners.
3 Select SNMP Trap, then click Configure. The SNMP Trap Listener Configuration dialog
opens.
