The backoff-multiplier parameter

The backoff-multiplier parameter specifies the value by which to multiply a trap's evaluation interval each time it fires.

If you set backoff-calculator to exponential-backoffand backoff-multiplier to 2 , the interval doubles each time the trap fires. The default value for the backoff-multiplier parameter is 1 .

Note: The backoff multiplier parameter is not displayed in FilerView during trap creation unless "exponential" is selected in the Backoff Style field.
