Source Port reuse timer with SNAT automap

Hi,   Using a SNAT automap, is there any specific timer which prevent a source port to not be reused after a closed connection using that same source port ?   Romain

Thanks for your answer. The point is to know if there is any way to set the idle session time-out. Sometimes, the bigip system reuse a source port whereas on the server side, a previous connection with the same source port is still in a TIME_WAIT state. Default TIME_WAIT timer value is set to 60 sec by default (this value can change depending the OS).

 

I know that using a OneConnect profile may help to manage this situation, but it would be interesting to know the idle session timeout value.
