Dial ID Protocol Configuration
Fields Maximum
retransmissions
per packet (HP modifiable.) This is the maximum number of
times that a dial ID protocol packet will be
retransmitted. If the expected response to a packet is
not received after this number of retransmissions, the
link device it is using is closed. This value is related to
the retransmission timeout.
Multiplying these values results in the total time that
passes before a failure is reported (an error message
will be recorded). HP recommends that you alter this
value only upon the recommendation of your HP
representative.However, note that if the value is set too
low, dial connections may fail unnecessarily when
response times are temporarily slowed by transient
conditions such asan abnormally high volume oftraffic.
The higher the value, the longer it will take to be
notified of a link failure if one occurs.
Default value: 2
Range: 1–10
Retransmission
timeout (secs)
(HP modifiable.) The retransmission timeout is the
time interval that passes between retransmissions of a
dial ID protocol packet. Multiplying the values
configured for maximum number of retransmissions
per packet (described above) and retransmission
timeout results in the total time that passes before a
failure is reported (an error message will be recorded).
HP recommends that you alter this value only upon the
recommendation of your HP representative. However,
note that if the value is set too low, dial connections
may fail unnecessarily when response times are
temporarily slowed by transient conditions such as an
abnormally high volume of traffic. The higher the
value, the longer it will take to be notified of a link
failure if one occurs.
Default value: 5
Range: 1–10
Security on
(Y/N) A Y (Yes) value in this field indicates that security
strings are to be exchanged and validated between the
node being configured and a remote node.
