rlDnsClMaxNumOfRetransmissions

Module: CISCOSB-DNSCL-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCOSB-DNSCL-MIB::rlDnsClMaxNumOfRetransmissions

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.101.93.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Description: The maximum number of retransmissions for each query.

What is rlDnsClMaxNumOfRetransmissions?

This read-write integer sets the maximum number of times the DNS client will retransmit a query before giving up, from 0 up to 100 attempts. An administrator tunes this to balance resolution reliability on lossy links against how long the device will wait before reporting a DNS failure. For example, on a flaky WAN link an admin might raise this value so transient packet loss doesn't cause premature DNS resolution failures.

Examples
