CSM vserver - session idle timeout question

[astanislaus]

I know how to increase the idle timeout beyond 3600 seconds for a session initiated by a client to real server, by putting the idle command on the vserver mapping to the real server.

This all works fine.

My customer wants to increase the idle timeout for a server inititaed connection.

I believe one can create a dummy vserver of 0.0.0.0. Is there any example on how to achieve this?

Can this be achieved in ip slb mode csm and ip slb mode rp?

Can I restrict it to a VLAN, etc?

Here is an example

serverfarm route

predictor forward

no nat server

!

vserver catchvlan20

vip 0.0.0.0/0 any

serverfarm route

vlan 20

idle xxxxx

!

This is a simple config to catch all traffic from vlan 20 [server vlan for example] and set the idle timeout to XXXXXX

You could also catch only tcp traffic with the command

vip 0.0.0.0/0 tcp 0

Also, the serverfarm "route" is used to tell the CSM to route the traffic - no loadbalancing.

Hope this helps.

Gilles.
