Context virtual Firewall limit-resource

Hi Guys,

Hope you all are doing ok, I have a question about configuring class for limit-resource on the context for virtual FW, I just want to understand how this limit-resource works, for example the command "limit-resource conns", does it mean per current connection would be the value? and what would be the best practice for allocating resource on configuring logical firewalls.

Thanks in advance.

Champ.

Hello Jaspher,

Basically you will be splitting the amount of resources that the firewall has as a whole unit into different Virtual Firewalls.

When we talk about conns we talk about the maximum amount of connections through a specific context

The best practice would be to monitor you network and after that determine how much traffic each context will use so you can set it as accurate as possible bud.

hi Jcarvaja,

Thanks for a prompt reply. So in that case I'll monitor first traffic connections before configuring  the the limit-resource.

thanks,

Hello Jaspher,

Exactly bud,

Remember that you can take into consideration amount of logs, Conns, Xlates, management sessions, inspections.
