conn timeout 00:00:00 in version 6.2 destroying connections after 2 minutes

bs0000554 · ‎06-17-2002

i´ve upgraded from a 5.3 version with comm timeout set to 00:00:00

(never expire). In version 6.2 with this command let the PIX have connections

(iddle or NOT ) only for 2 minutes. After this time the connection are destroyed.

I set the conn timeout to 168:00:00 (one week).

I ´ve changed the conn timeout to 00:00:00 in others PIX and the problem ocurs egain.

This is a known bug. The bug ID is: CSCdx35663

The workaround is as you have done. Set the timeout to be a very large value. The bug has been fixed and will be in PIX 6.2(2) due out at the end of the month.

Sincerely,

David.

Do u have a failover configured and cables connected to both the firewalls?

No failover is not configured

This is a known issue, which is fixed in PIX version 6.2(2) which should be out at the end of the week.

In the mean time, setting the connection timeout extremely high is a workaround.

Sincerely,

David.

talk to my boss.
