TCP profile and source address persistence

i created a standard Virtual server. Using the default TCP profile. idele timeout value is 300 seconds with this I also have configured a source address persistence with the timeout value of 2400 seconds. The issue is, the user loggged out after 200 seconds but the server connection doen't timeout after 300 seconds, the connection stays on for 2400 seconds. My understanding is LTM connection table maintains whcih client hit whcih pool member and within the 2400 seconds if the client returns then send the client to the same pool member. I am lost as to why the server connection not timeing out. Thanks in Advance

  • The issue is, the user loggged out after 200 seconds but the server connection doen't timeout after 300 seconds, the connection stays on for 2400 seconds.

     

    how do you know server connection is not timeout? have you seen it in connection table (tmsh show sys connection ... command)?

     

  • I saw the connection when I did sh sys connection

    how does it look like? did it contain clientside connection information?
