2.3 Configuring TCP Attributes
2.3.1 Configuring TCP Optional Parameters
TCP optional parameters that can be configured include:
z synwait timer: When sending a SYN packet, TCP starts the synwait timer. If no
response packets are received within the synwait timer timeout, the TCP
connection is not successfully created.
z finwait timer: When the TCP connection is in FIN_WAIT_2 state, finwait timer will
be started. If no FIN packets are received within the timer timeout, the TCP
connection will be terminated. If FIN packets are received, the TCP connection
state changes to TIME_WAIT. If non-FIN packets are received, the system
restarts the timer from receiving the last non-FIN packet. The connection is broken
after the timer expires.
z Size of TCP receive/send buffer
Follow these steps to configure TCP optional parameters:

Configure TCP synwait
timer’s timeout value
tcp timer syn-timeout
time-value
Optional
By default, the timeout
value is 75 seconds.
Configure TCP finwait
timer’s timeout value
tcp timer fin-timeout
time-value
Optional
By default, the timeout
value is 675 seconds.
Configure the size of TCP
receive/send buffer
tcp window window-size
Optional
By default, the buffer is 8
kilobytes.
Caution:
The actual length of the finwait timer is determined by the following formula:
Actual length of the finwait timer = (Configured length of the finwait timer – 75) +
configured length of the synwait timer
2.4 Configuring ICMP to Send Error Packets
Sending error packets is a major function of ICMP protocol. In case of network
abnormalities, ICMP packets are usually sent by the network or transport layer
protocols to notify corresponding devices so as to facilitate control and management.
