NimbostratusHow does persistence record get timed out?
If I use "persist srcaddr 180", according to the documentation, the persistence record time out in 180 seconds. What does that mean? Does it mean idle timeout (no packets) or if there is no new connec...
Actually, it's more like a reference timeout. As long as there are any connections (idle or not) that referenced (or initially used) the persistence record, it will not time out. The timeout counter starts when no connections reference the persist entry.
So, as long as there is a connection established that used the persistence record it will not timeout. The entry will be timed out 180 seconds after the last connection that used the persistence record is closed (or reset).
