ip csg bma retries

ip csg bma retries

To define the maximum number of Billing Mediation Agent (BMA) retries allowed before the CSG2 determines that the link has failed, use the ip csg bma retries command in global configuration mode. To reset the number of BMA retries to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip csg bma retries [packet] number-of-retriesno ip csg bma retries

Syntax Description	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.
Defaults	The default value is 3 retries.
Command Modes	Global configuration
Command History	Release	Modification
	12.4(11)MD	This command was introduced.
	12.4(15)MD	The packet keyword was added.
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
