Setting the Hop Count Reduction
Enable hop count reduction only when the diameter of your network is greater
than 15 hops.
If you use hop count reduction, make sure you do not create a network loop like
the one shown in F
igure 2-22. Hop count reduction can only take place across two
AppleTalk networks that are linked by an AURP tunnel.
Figure 2-22. Network Loop
For information on editing the Hop Count Reduction parameter, refer to “Editing
AURP Parameters” in Chapter 4.
Setting the Command Timeout and Command Retries
The Command Timeout specifies the amount of time to wait for an
acknowledgment before retrying the command. The Command Retries parameter
specifies how many attempts are made before the connection is considered closed.
For a typical network (that is, a network that is relatively stable), the
recommended Command Timeout value is 3 seconds. If a network is busy or
requires long-distance travel, larger values may be required.
For information on editing the Command Timeout and Command Retries
parameters, refer to “Editing AURP Parameters” in Chapter 4.
