sam-timeout-multiplier


Specifies the number of additional module discovery periods to be added to the base period in which a successful discovery response must be received by the route controller before the primary SAM switches to the backup SAM.

Syntax: [no] sam-timeout-multiplier multiplier

multiplier

Specifies the number of additional module discovery periods to be added to the base period in which a successful discovery response must be received by the route controller before the primary SAM switches to the backup SAM. Valid Values: 0 - 4294967295. Default Value: 1.

Description: The Server Attached Module (SAM) acts as a proxy for any communications between the primary route controller and all other modules. A primary SAM will switch to its backup when a module discovery response is not received by the route controller during a configured discovery period.

The viability of route controller to module communications is monitored by an IPriori module discovery protocol. This module discovery protocol sends out discovery messages and listens for a response. The base timeout period for this discovery exchange is 3 seconds in length. The actual timeout period consists of the base and the number of additional periods configured. If no discovery response is received within the configured discovery period, the primary SAM will switch to the backup. During periods of high congestion, it is possible that the discovery exchange will not take place during a discovery timeout period. Adding an additional discovery period can avoid needless primary SAM to backup SAM flips. The sam-timeout-multiplier command provides for adding additional timeout periods before a switch from primary SAM to backup occurs. The default value is 1. This configures for one additional discovery timeout period, i.e. a timeout period of 6 seconds.

Use the sam-timeout-multiplier command to specify the number of additional timeout periods to be added to the base period within which a successful discovery response must be received by the route controller to avoid a primary SAM to backup SAM flip.

Use the no sam-timeout-multiplier command to reset the configured timeout period to the default value.

Factory Default: Multiplier = 1.

Command Mode: Global Configuration.

Example 1: In the following example the module discovery period multiplier is set to 2 using the sam-timeout-multiplier command. The current value is displayed using the show server verbose command:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#sam-timeout-multiplier 2

router(config)#end

router#show server verbose
