Conﬁguring LAT Characteristics

RETRANSMIT LIMIT Characteristic

Introduction

The RETRANSMIT LIMIT characteristic speciﬁes the number of times that the

access server resends a message without an acknowledgment. After the speciﬁed

time limit, the access server times out the circuit. If other service nodes offer the

same service that timed out, the access server attempts automatic failover.

RETRANSMIT LIMIT Values

The retransmit limit range is from 4 to 120. If trafﬁc load is heavy or the network

experiences noise problems, set the value higher than the default value of 8. On

the other hand, if rapid error detection is important, you may want to specify a

lower value.

Changing the RETRANSMIT LIMIT Characteristic

To change the RETRANSMIT LIMIT characteristic, use the

DEFINE/SET/CHANGE SERVER RETRANSMIT LIMIT command. The

following example shows how to change the retransmit limit to 100:

Local> CHANGE SERVER RETRANSMIT LIMIT 100
