What namespaces and calls are you using to get the mac addresses?


>Hello everyone!

>I am writing a switch control library in C# which uses SNMP to communicate with HP and Cisco switches. One of my methods is to retrieve the list of MAC addresses on a certain port on a switch. With the Cisco switches I have to get the entire list of MAC addresses on the switch then look up the port for each switch and determine if it is the port I'm looking for and if it is add it to my port list. However, with the Cisco switches we have it seems that if I make too many requests at a time the switch returns an error. What I would like to do then is slow the requests being sent so that a request for what port is only done every half second or second. With FoxPro I could simply using the WAIT command, but what is the best way to do this with C#?
