Description
This command configures the configuration module on the master controller.
Syntax
Parameter Description Range Default
set config-chunk
Maximum packet size, in Kilobytes, that is sent
every second to the local controller whenever
the master controller sends a configuration to
the local. If the connection between the
master and local is slow or uneven, you can
lower the size to reduce the amount of data
that needs to be retransmitted. If the
connection is very fast and stable, you can
increase the size to make the transmission
more efficient.
1-100 10 Kbytes
set heartbeat
Interval, in seconds, at which heartbeats are
sent. You can increase the interval to reduce
traffic load.
10-300 10 seconds
set maximum-updates
Maximum number of local controllers that can
be updated at the same time with
configuration changes. You can decrease this
value if you have a busy network. You can
increase this value to improve configuration
synchronization.
2-25 5
snapshot-timer
Interval, in minutes, that the local controller
waits for a configuration download from the
master upon bootup or startup before loading
the last snapshot configuration.
5-60 5 minutes
sync-command-blocks
To configure the number of command-list
blocks. Each block contains a list of global
configuration commands for each write-mem
operation.
3-10 5
sync-type complete
The master sends full configuration file to the
local.
— —
sync-type snapshot
The master sends only the incremental con-
figuration to the local.
NOTE: By default, this configuration is
enabled.
