retransmission-interval (DHCP Client)
Syntax
retransmission-interval seconds;
Hierarchy Level
[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family family dhcp-client]
Description
Specify the initial retransmission interval. Successive retransmission intervals are doubled as per RFC2131.
Though the SRX Series Firewalls implement the exponential backoff, as described in RFC 2131, the
retransmit attempt does not stop when the retransmission interval reaches 64
seconds. The packet is transmitted till the retransmission attempt is reached.
For example, if you configure the retransmission-attempt to 5
and the retransmission-interval to 20, the sequence of
retransmission-interval is 20, 40, 80, 160, 320.
Options
| seconds | Number of seconds before initial retransmission. |
Range: The range is 4 through 64. The default is 4 seconds.
