inside to outside idle telnet session drop

[jdonovan]

greetings,

i have been given report that idle telnet session have been dropping out since i moved devices behind the PIX. Are there any issues i should be aware of in regards to PIX IOS v 6.1(1)

Hardware PIX 515

Is there a time out set for tcp sessions. i am using NAT on the inside. Is there a set time limit for leased IP's? if so how may i change this.

TIA

you can use "timeout" command on the PIX to tweak the default settings;

default timeout for xlate (a translation) is 3 hours

default idle timeout before a connection slot is freed is 1 hour

Hope that helps
