Description
This command configures the configuration module on the master controller.
Syntax
Parameter Description Range Default
set config-chunk Maximum packet size, in Kilobytes, that is sent every
second to the local controller whenever the master
controller sends a configuration to the local. If the
connection between the master and local is slow or
uneven, you can lower the size to reduce the amount
of data that needs to be retransmitted. If the
connection is very fast and stable, you can increase
the size to make the transmission more efficient.
1-100 10 Kbytes
set heartbeat Interval, in seconds, at which heartbeats are sent. You
can increase the interval to reduce traffic load.
10-300 10 seconds
set maximum-updates Maximum number of local controllers that can be
updated at the same time with configuration changes.
You can decrease this value if you have a busy
network. You can increase this value to improve
configuration synchronization.
2-25 5
snapshot-timer Interval, in minutes, that the local controller waits for
a configuration download from the master upon
bootup or startup before loading the last snapshot
configuration.
5-60 5 minutes
sync-command-blocks To configure the number of command-list blocks. Each
block contains a list of global configuration commands
for each write-mem operation.
1-3 3
sync-type complete The master sends full configuration file to the local. — —
sync-type snapshot The master sends only the incremental configuration
to the local.
NOTE: By default, this configuration is enabled.
— Enable
Usage Guidelines
By default, configuration updates on the controller are disabled to prevent any alterations to the controller
configuration.
Example
The following command allows configuration updates from the Mobility Management System:
(host)(config) #cfgm mms config enable
