Viewing Firewall Configurations
Connection Timeouts
To maintain secure sessions, the firewall times out (disconnects) inactive
sessions after a specified time, which helps mitigate the effects of flooding
attacks. The default timeouts (number of seconds to wait before disconnect-
ing) for each type of session can be customized. In addition, you can configure
timeout settings for other services in your network.
