Hi,
I am assuming yo want to do it on PIX as this post is under firewall section.
This can be done however only in Ver 7.X of Pix through QOS.
There is a three step procedure.
1)Classify the traffic for which you want to set the timeout value with the "class-map" command.
2)Define the "policy-map" and add the defined class and then set the timeout value.
3)apply this policy by "service-policy"
example
I want to set the timeout value for 10.1.1.1
(config)# access-list servertimeout permit tcp any host 10.1.1.1
(config)# class-map timeout-server
(config-cmap)# match access-list servertimeout
(config-cmap)# exit
(config)# policy-map serverpolicy
(config-pmap)# class servertimeout
(config-pmap-c)# set connection timeout [Dont remember the exact command]
(config)#service-policy serverpolicy global or interface
Regards,
Tanveer
