With IPHost Network Monitor you can run simple snmp requests against a Nortel device in your network.
vrIpxSapMaxDampedGeneralRequests
Virtual Router Ipx Sap Max Damped General Requests
This attribute is only used when the attribute damping is enabled. It is used to limit the average rate at which the switch responds to general SAP requests. If more than this number are received within a ten second interval, the first sapMaxDampedGeneralRequests are responded to and the remainder are ignored.
