What is strapRetry?

This sets how many times any given enterprise-specific trap will be retransmitted for the same event, using a truncated exponential backoff of 2, 4, 8, 16, and then 32 seconds between attempts. It ensures a trap has a better chance of reaching the management station even over an unreliable network path. An admin on a lossy WAN link to their NMS might increase strapRetry to raise the odds that critical traps eventually get through.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.29.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::strapRetry

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.29.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::strapRetry.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.29.5.1 i <value>
