Setting Session Limits

To set session limits:

1.Select Security from the main menu and Firewall Rules from the submenu. The LAN WAN Rules screen displays.

2.Click the Session Limit tab. The Session Limit screen displays..

Figure 4-14

3.Click the Yes radio button under Do you want to enable Session Limit?

4.From the User Limit Parameter pull-down menu, define the maximum number of sessions per IP either as a percentage of maximum sessions or as an absolute.

The percentage is computed on the total connection capacity of the device.

5.Enter the User Limit. If the User Limit Parameter is set to Percentage of Max Sessions, this is the maximum number of sessions allowed from a single source machine as a percentage of the total connection capacity. (Session Limit is per machine based.) Otherwise, if the User Limit Parameter is set to Number of Sessions, the user limit is an absolute value.
