Configuring the Registration Period

</h1>
<a name="wp1092714"> </a><p class="pBody">
The iSNS client specifies the registration period with the iSNS Server. The iSNS Server keeps the 
registration active until the end of this period. If there are no commands from the iSNS client during this 
period, then the iSNS server removes the client registration from its database. 

</p>
<a name="wp1092715"> </a><p class="pBody">
If the iSNS client does not specify a registration period, the iSNS server assumes a default value of 0, 
which keeps the registration active indefinitely. You can also manually configure the registration period 
on the MDS iSNS Server.
