devDNSMaxRetries

Module: PDN-DNS-MIB

OID (symbolic): PDN-DNS-MIB::devDNSMaxRetries

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.17.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: the object allows the NMS to configure the number of maximum number of retires by the device before giving up or trying one of the secondary DNS servers if they have been configured. The default value for this object is 2

What is devDNSMaxRetries?

This object lets a management station configure the maximum number of retry attempts the device makes before giving up or trying a configured secondary DNS server, defaulting to 2. Admins tune this to control DNS resolution resilience versus how long a failed lookup takes to give up and fail. Setting devDNSMaxRetries to 4 would have the device try harder against a flaky DNS server before falling back to a secondary server or failing the lookup.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.17.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PDN-DNS-MIB::devDNSMaxRetries

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.17.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PDN-DNS-MIB::devDNSMaxRetries.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.17.1.3.1 i <value>
