Setting The Retry Interval And Retry Number For A Vam Client; Setting The Dumb Timer For A Vam Client; Configuring A Username And Password For A Vam Client - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Configuration Manual

All VAM clients and the VAM server in an ADVPN domain must have the same pre-shared key. If they
have different pre-shared keys, the decryption and authentication will fail, and they cannot establish
any connection.
To configure a pre-shared key for a VAM client:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VAM client view.
3. Configure a pre-shared key
for the VAM client.

Setting the retry interval and retry number for a VAM client

After a VAM client sends a request to the server, it resends the request if it does not receive any
responses within the retry interval. If the client fails to receive a response after maximum attempts
(retry times + 1), the client determines that the server is unreachable.
The retry-times setting does not apply to register and update requests. The client sends those
requests at the retry interval until it goes offline.
To set the retry interval and retry number for a VAM client:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VAM client view.
3. Set the retry interval and
retry number.

Setting the dumb timer for a VAM client

A VAM client starts the dumb timer after the timeout timer expires. The client does not process any
packets during the dumb time. When the dumb timer expires, the client sends a new connection
request to the VAM server.
To set the dumb timer for a VAM client:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VAM client view.
3. Set the dumb timer.

Configuring a username and password for a VAM client

The VAM client uses the configured username and password for authentication on the server.
