8-14
Parameter: Name Cache Age
Default: 300 seconds
Range: Any value that can rapidly age infrequently referenced names out of the
NetBIOS name cache
Function: Specifies an age (in seconds) when inactive NetBIOS names expire from
the NetBIOS name cache.
Instructions: Choose an aging value that allows infrequently referenced or obsolete
server names to expire from the name cache. The smaller the value, the
less efficient broadcast reduction is, but the more quickly the network
recovers topology changes.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.11.1.9
Parameter: Hash Entry Count
Default: 253
Range: Any integer value
Function: Specifies the number of entries you want to allow in the cache lookup
tables. Each NetBIOS interface has a local table to store and retrieve the
names of NetBIOS servers active on the network.
Instructions: For networks that actively use up to 2500 NetBIOS server names, use the
default value (253). To determine a hash entry count for larger networks
— Divide the total number of unique NetBIOS server names active in
the network by 10.
— Adjust the quotient to the nearest (higher or lower) prime number. (A
prime number can only be divided by itself or one and still yield a
whole-number quotient.)
— Replace the default value with the new, calculated number.
Increasing the number of hash table entries does not increase the number
of names that a router can cache. With larger networks, increasing the size
of the hash tables may, however, reduce internal cache lookup time,
thereby improving overall performance.
