The LANRESILTIMER command enables a system administrator to inquire on or specify a value for the LAN resiliency timer, which is used to check for network interfaces that are unavailable (do not have an open IP connection).
If there are any unavailable network interfaces, current TCP addresses are moved to a backup network interface, which subsequent TCP dialogs will use.
The value specified by the LAN resiliency timer determines when TCPIPSUPPORT checks for networking interfaces that have not been initialized for a variety of reasons.
For example
-
The EC BY CONN command failed.
-
The LAN cable is unplugged.
-
A problem exists with the physical hardware.
The LAN resiliency timer starts under the following conditions:
-
TCPIP transitions into a NETWORKING phase. (The TCPIP option LANRESILTIMER must be enabled at that time.)
-
The user issues an NW TCPIP OPT + LANRESILTIMER command to turn on the timer.
The format of the command is
NW TCPIP LANRESILTIMER <timer value>
The variable is described as follows.
Variable Description
<timer value> The valid range is 15 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
| Note: | The TCPIP LANRESILTIMER command changes the LANRESILTIMER value when the LANRESIL option of the NW TCPIP OPTION command is enabled or disabled. |
When issued without a timer value specified, this command returns the current value setting of the timer.
When issued with a timer value specified, this command sets the timer to the value specified
