Probe Protocol Configuration
Fields Proxy enabled
(Y/N) Proxy nodes exist on networks to provide node name
and address mapping facilities for nodes that do not
have local network directories. Proxy requests are
multicast on the network to request information about
a third-party node from a proxy node.
Y means this node may be a proxy server and to answer
all proxy requests on the network. N means this node
will ignore all proxy requests on the network.
Default value: N
Range: Y or N
Probe requests
retransmission
maximum This is the maximum number of transmissions of probe
requests (name requests and address requests) before a
probe failure is reported. Because it is unlikely that
probe-request data is lost, HP recommends that you
keep the maximum number of retransmissions low.
Default value: 2
Range: 1–10
Probe requests
retransmission
timeout
(seconds) This field is for specifying the time limit between
retransmissions of probe requests. This is the time
interval in seconds that the probe protocol will wait for
a reply before attempting to retransmit a request. The
value should be set sufficiently large to avoid
retransmissions in a temporarily overloaded
environment, yet small enough to get a timely failure
report when failure is inevitable.
Default value: 1
Range: 1–10
Proxy requests
retransmission
maximum The maximum number of retransmissions of proxy
requests before a probe failure is reported. Because it is
unlikely that probe-request data is lost, HP
recommends that you keep the maximum number of
retransmissions low.
Default value: 2
Range: 1–10
