Hi
Otherday we had a problem with my FWSM. There were huge no of xlate connections shown in the firewall. Traffic was not going through, interfaces were in hung state, had to reboot the FWSM beside blocking the IP Addresses from where the huge number xlates were originating from. These IP Addresses were blocked in perimter firewall, Following is the output of show xlates.
FWSM/externalfw# show xlate count
108721 in use, 108988 most used
FWSM/internalfw# show xlate count
153374 in use, 153374 most used
need to help on how to avoid this issue in future.
Regards
Ravi
