What is the default timeout for tcp connections through an FWSM?

[ehgotz]

I can find the timeouts for connection to the FWSM but not through the FWSM. I have an application timing out and I do NOT think it is the firewall causing it but I would like to know the default timeouts for session through the firewall.

Hi,

the default timeout for TCP connection is one hour as you can see from the command

FWSM(config)# timeout conn ?

configure mode commands/options:
  0:0:0 | <0:5:0> - <1193:0:0>  Idle time after which a TCP connection state
                                will be closed, default is 1:00:00
  <0-0>                         Specify this value to never time out

Better would be to post this on the Firewalling forum though.

I hope this answers your question

Thank you Alessandro - I debated this forum versus the Firewalling forum and chose this one as it is for applications through the firewall.
