max servers

Configures the maximum number of TFTP 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 60-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 TFTP services do not cause excessive system impact to other services.
Example:

    max servers 50
