MOT(config-pktcable)#
em retry-interval <
1-3600
>
where:
1-3600
is the retry interval in seconds. The default is 2.
Configuring the Retry Message Count
If an Accounting-Response event message is not received by the BSR from the
Record Keeping Server, the BSR sends the event message again. Once all retries are
exhausted, the BSR tries an alternate Record Keeping Server (if one is available).
The network and the Record Keeping Server should be examined to determine the
reason for these timeouts. The event message retry count can be specified depending
on the amount of network congestion and the distance between the BSR and the
Record Keeping Server.
Follow these steps to configure the event message retry count:
1. Issue the show packet-cable statistics command in PacketCable Configuration
mode to determine if the event message retry count needs to be changed.
2. If network congestion causes reported timeouts in the Account Request Failure
field in the
show packet-cable statistics command output, issue the em
retry-count command in PacketCable Configuration mode to change the number
of event message retries:
MOT(config-pktcable)#
em retry-count <
1-16
>
where:
1-16
is the retry count. The default is 3.
Configuring the Hold-time for Batched Event Messages
The hold-time for batched event messages can be configured to allow more time so
that multiple event messages can be combined into one packet to reduce network
traffic.
Issue the em max-batch-time command in PacketCable Configuration mode to
configure the interval that the batched event messages are held before they are sent to
the Record Keeping Server:
MOT(config-pktcable)#
em max-batch-time <
1-60
>
where:
1-60
is the time in seconds for batched event messages to be withheld. The
default is 10.
