Session Limit |
This page allows you to specify total number sessions per user (IP) allowed
across the router. |
Session limiting is disabled by default. When enabling session limiting we can
give the maximum number of sessions per IP either in percentage of maximum
sessions or absolute number of maximum sessions. If we want to give the
maximum number of sessions per IP in percentage check "yes" radio button
otherwise check "No" radio button. The percentage is computed on the total connection capacity of the device.
"User Limit" specifies the maximum number of sessions that should be allowed via box from a single source machine (i.e. session limiting is per machine based) as percentage of total connection capacity .
Please note that some protocols like ftp, rstp create 2 sessions per
connection which should be considered when configuring session limiting. The label |
"Total Number of Packets Dropped due to Session
Limit:" shows total number of packets dropped
when session limit is reached |
