max servers

Configures the maximum number of telnet servers that can be started within any 60-second interval. If this limit is reached, the system waits two minutes before trying to start any more servers.

Platform:

ASR 5000

Product:

All


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax
max servers count
count

Default: 40

Specifies the maximum number of servers that can be spawned in any 6- second interval. count must be an integer from 1 through 100.


Usage:

Set the number of servers to tune the system response as a heavily loaded system may need more servers to support the incoming requests.

The converse would be true as well in that a system can benefit by reducing the number of servers such that telnet services do not cause excessive system impact to other services.


Example:
max servers 50
