DISA STIG NET0965

I have a ASA-5510 (9.11-4-K8) monitoring a network that is required to use the DISA STIGs for certain security settings. there is a requirement (STIG ID NET0965) that requires the following:

The network device must be configured with a maximum wait time of 10 seconds or less to allow a host to establish a TCP connection.

Configure the maximum wait time for TCP connections to be established with the device to 10 seconds or less.

this is possible on a router or switch but can this be configured on the ASA?

Hello Joe,

You mean traffic to the box or through the box?

This particular requirment NET0965 is for communications from a client to the ASA. IE: ssh, asdm, bgp, scp etc....

I found how to do it on the IOS ISR platform, but not on the ASA.

also on the IOS ISR platform: use:  ip tcp synwait-time 10
