This read-write value sets how many times the switch will retry sending an Update Status LMI message (parameter N395) before giving up, with a configurable range of 1 to 10 and a factory default of 3. It matters because if LMI update-status exchanges between the switch and an attached device keep failing, this retry count determines how persistent the switch is before declaring the exchange unsuccessful and affecting reported link status. For example, on a noisy access line where Update Status acknowledgments are occasionally lost, raising ascLmiMaxRetryN395 from the default of 3 to 6 gives the LMI more chances to complete the handshake before reporting failure.
