Configuring Session Limits And Timeouts - NETGEAR STM150 - ProSecure Web And Email Threat Management Appliance Reference Manual

Configuring Session Limits and Timeouts

The Session Limits screen allows you to specify the total number of sessions per user (that
is, per IP address or single source machine) that are allowed on the STM. Session limiting is
disabled by default. When session limiting is enabled, you can specify the maximum number
of sessions per user either as an absolute number or as a percentage of the STM's total
connection capacity per user, which is 10000 sessions. (You cannot change the total
connection capacity per user.) If a user exceeds the number of allocated sessions, packets
might be dropped.
Note: Some protocols such as FTP and RSTP create two sessions per
connection.
To configure session limits and timeouts:
1. Select Global Settings > Network Settings from the menu. The Network Settings
submenu tabs display with the Network Settings screen in view.
2. Click the Session Limits submenu tab. The Session Limits screen displays:
