Hi,

Is 172.16.6.167 client or server? Whatever it is, this server / pc is either virus infected / is opening constant CIFS connections, may cause slowness across device. These kind of error messages arise in the situation where :

1. A PC is infected wit hVirus / trojen and opening "n" number of remote connections.

2. A server that has AntiVirus software installed may cause this when it pushes AV signature updates to the clients.

3. A server that has any sort of security scanning software installed can cause "n" number of connections to open.

3. A server that has any sort of inventory management software installed can also cause this sort of situation.

In otehr words, this PC / server needs to be analyzed to find out why it is opening so many connections. Is it suppose to open so many connections?

This is not WAAS problem but rather that particular PC / server problem. You may want to run CLI command --> sh stat conn | inc 172.16.6.167

to find out how many open connections this client has.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
