Commands for Persistence Modes, and NAT Modes
configure timeout established-connection
configure timeout established-connection <seconds>
Description
Sets the established-connection timeout period.
Syntax Description
Default
The default established-connection timeout is 30 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
This command sets the length of the established-connection timeout period. This timeout period is used
for established TCP or UDP connections. Established connections that have no trafÞc for the speciÞed
time period will be torn down by the application switch. For TCP connections, a new 3-way handshake
is required to restart the connection. A restart of either a TCP or a UDP connection is subject to the
load-balancing policy for the target service and may not be bound to the same server as the original
connection.
You can use this command to adjust the established-connection timeout period for protocols that exhibit
long periods of inactivity; doing so will prevent premature termination of such connections.
You must use the build command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
Example
The following command sets the established-connection timeout to 1 minute (60 seconds).
configure timeout established-connection 60
