Description
From the User Limit Parameter drop-down list, select one of the following options:
• Percentage of Max Sessions. A percentage of the total session connection
capacity of the wireless VPN firewall.
• Number of Sessions. An absolute number of maximum sessions.
Enter a number to indicate the user limit. Note the following:
• If the User Limit Parameter is set to Percentage of Max Sessions, the number
specifies the maximum number of sessions that are allowed from a single-source
device as a percentage of the total session connection capacity of the wireless
VPN firewall. (The session limit is per-device based.)
• If the User Limit Parameter is set to Number of Sessions, the number specifies
an absolute value.
Note: Some protocols such as FTP and RSTP create two sessions per connection,
which should be considered when configuring a session limit.
