Command History
Usage Guidelines We recommend that you change the number of retries allowed only when directed to do so by
Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers. In most environments, the default value is the most
appropriate setting.
By default, the CSG2 retries a packet forever; it never discards a packet. If you configure the ip csg bma
retries packet command, the CSG2 tries to send a packet to the BMA the specified number of times,
then discards the packet. (The first attempt to send a packet to the BMA is not counted as a retry.) For
example, if you configure ip csg bma retries packet 4, the CSG2 tries to send a packet to the BMA five
times before discarding it (the initial attempt plus four retries).
Examples The following example shows how to allow two BMA retries:
ip csg bma retries 2
The following example shows how to allow the CSG2 to try to send a packet to the BMA four times, in
addition to the initial attempt:
ip csg bma retries packet 4
packet (Optional) Attempt to send a packet to the BMA the specified number of
times, then discard the packet.
number-of-retries Maximum number of BMA retries allowed by the CSG2. The range is
1 to 65535. The default value is 3.
