Session Idle timeout regardless of the setting on LTM profile

Our network engineer has configured F5 to be used as a firewall, so all the communications between different VLANs are controlled via our F5.   Now, we are experiencing problems with the idle time...

Hi Steve,

 

 

Thanks a lot for the tip. It looks like we do have some timeout of some sort.

 

 

I see stuff like this:

 

 

81.156.252.183:59172 - 172.16.215.3:443 - 81.156.252.183:59172 - 10.0.8.12:443

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Slot 1

 

TMM 7

 

Type any

 

Protocol tcp

 

Idle Time 15

 

Idle Timeout 300

 

Unit ID 1

 

Lasthop /Common/external f0:f7:55:43:bd:de

 

Virtual Path 172.16.215.3:443

I don't see anywhere a timeout as set in the profile. Our network admin sent me a filtered output but the filter was not right.

 

 

Now, how do I change this timeout?
