Once for each service provider link.

The polling usage on command enables the polling of an edge router for ISP link-usage data. Polling is enabled on a per-link basis.

You must also provide the following information to CNA:

• the link’s ISP-facing address on your edge router, using the polling interface-ip-address command
• the address to use for obtaining SNMP information from your edge router, using the snmp-agent-ip-address command
• the read-only community string for obtaining SNMP information from your edge router, using the community command
• how frequently you want CNA to poll the edge router, using the polling usage interval command
• the sampling interval you want CNA to use in calculating a projected bill for that link, and the ISP’s billing period, using the polling usage interval

If a load threshold table has been defined, only those links that are contained in the table should be polled for usage. See the load threshold-table command.

Use the no form of the polling usage on command to disable the polling feature.
