The snmp-agent protocol get-bulk timeout command configures a get-bulk operation timeout period.
The undo snmp-agent protocol get-bulk timeout command restores the default get-bulk operation timeout period.
The default get-bulk operation timeout period is 2 seconds.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| time | Specifies a get-bulk operation timeout period. | The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 600, in seconds. NOTE:
The value 0 indicates that a get-bulk operation never expires. |
Usage Scenario
A get-bulk operation allows an NMS to query information about multiple managed devices at a time, equaling multiple get-next operations.
If an NMS requests many data through a get-bulk operation, a long time is required to obtain the data. You can run the snmp-agent protocol get-bulk timeout command to change the get-bulk operation timeout period.
Precautions
You are not advised to change the get-bulk operation timeout period. The default get-bulk operation timeout period is recommended. To reconfigure a get-bulk operation timeout period, you must ensure that the configured period is less than an NMS's timeout period.
