RETRIES(1)              XR32 REFERENCE MANUAL                19/1/2013

COMMAND
        RETRIES -- Display / Set the retries parameter for a port.

SYNOPSIS
        RETRIES <port> [value]

AVAILABILITY
        Sysop-only.

DESCRIPTION
        The RETRIES command allows the value of the level 2 maximum
        retry value for a port to be displayed or altered, i.e. the
        maximum no. of attempts at sending a frame without a reply
        being received.  The usual setting is 10.  A setting of 0
        means "try forever", and should be avoided except for testing.

OPTIONS
        If a single numeric argument is supplied, the current value
        for that port number is displayed.

        If two numeric arguments are supplied, the first specifies the
        port number, and the second specifies the new value for the
        parameter.  The new setting remains in force until changed, or
        until the router is restarted, in which case the value
        specified in the CFG file is reapplied.

EXAMPLE
        RETRIES 3       - Display current setting for port 3
        RETRIES 3 15    - Set port 3 max retries to 15
