Clearing connections from Connection table???

You can use 'b conn' from the command line to view/remove connections from the connection table. 'b conn' will only display ~7000 entries though. You can check the 'b conn help' output or search on AskF5.com for details.

Thanks. We are having issues with connection to Oracle DB and it times out causing the app to break. I have created a profile with no timeout. Just wanted to have something in hand if connection goes beyond limit. Thanks for your help.

It's a bit risky to use an idle timeout of 0 as the connection table entries will never be reaped by LTM. You might consider setting a very long timeout--but not 0. And make sure this TCP profile is only assigned to a VIP which just trusted clients can connect to. It would be fairly easy to hit a memory and/or port exhaustion situation if you're not careful.

That makes sens. You might still try setting the idle timeout for a few hours instead of indefinite.

The app is weird and cannot handle timeout. Everything breaks after time out and the whole environment needs restart.
