retries
This command sets the number of times that the appliance attempts a failed query.
Syntax
retries attempts
Parameters
- attempts
- The number of times that the appliance attempts a failed query. If the query fails, the appliance attempts the query to a different DNS server that is determined by the load balance algorithm. Enter a value in the range 0 - 4294967295. The default value is 2.
Guidelines
The retries command sets the number of times that the appliance attempts a failed query before an error is returned. This command is used when the load balancing algorithm is first-alive. Any value set with the retries command is ignored when the load balancing algorithm is round-robin.
With the timeout command, the retries command specifies the number of attempts that the appliance makes to resolve DNS server queries after the initial attempt.
