TCP half closed conection

[deepanprasanth]

What happens when there is a TCP half closed connection ?

How long the connection remains alive before it gets closed ?

Is there a specific setting in ASA to manage half closed TCP sessions ?

These are the questions asked to me during network security interview.

You can check ASA's timeout settings with "show run timeout " command

By default half-closed TCP connections timeout is 10 mins. you can change this value with timeout half-closed xx:xx:xx command.
