+- `attempt_timeout` (Number) Number of seconds to wait for a single NETCONF operation attempt to complete before treating it as a transient failure and retrying. Large configuration changes (for example, a `spanning-tree` declaration covering thousands of VLANs) can take a device considerably longer than the default to process a `commit`, causing an otherwise-successful operation to be abandoned and retried. Increase this value if operations fail with `errTimeoutError: channel timeout sending input to device` despite the device still working. Note this applies to every NETCONF operation, so raising it also increases how long a genuinely unresponsive device takes to surface as an error. This can also be set as the IOSXE_ATTEMPT_TIMEOUT environment variable. Defaults to `30`.
