and I would like to know the default numbers.

Apr 11, 2019Hi Morrie,
F5 does not provide a supported configuration to limit the maximum number of concurrent ssh sessions and they don't limit those by default.
If you need to limit the maximum number of concurrent logins you could tweak your limits.conf file. But I can't tell you possible side effects, so better consult F5 Support before changing those settings...
less /etc/security/limits.conf
man limits.conf
Cheers, Kai
