open (probe submode)

open open-timeout no open

Syntax Description		open-timeout	Maximum number of seconds to wait for the TCP connection; the
			range is from 1 to 65535.
Defaults		The default value for the open timeout is 10 seconds.
Command Modes		SLB HTTP/TCP/FTP/Telnet/SMTP probe configuration submode
Command History		Release	Modification
		CSM release 1.1(1)	This command was introduced.
		CSM-S release 1.1(1)	This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines		This command is not used for any non-TCP probes, such as ICMP or DNS.
	Note	There are two different timeout values: open and receive. The open timeout specifies how many seconds
		to wait for the connection to open (that is, how many seconds to wait for SYN ACK after sending SYN).
		The receive timeout specifies how many seconds to wait for data to be received (that is, how many
		seconds to wait for an HTTP reply after sending a GET/HHEAD request). Because TCP probes close as
		soon as they open without sending any data, the receive timeout is not used.
Examples		This example shows how to configure a time to wait for a TCP connection of 5 seconds:
		Cat6k-2(config-slb-probe-http)# open 5
		probe
