connection-limit (Firewall)
Overview
Use this command to limit firewall connections for an entity.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove the limit.
Syntax
connection-limit [
<1-65535>
] from
<entity_name>
with limit
<0-100000>
no connection-limit {<
1-65535
>|all}
Default
The limiting is disabled by default and the number of connections will not be
limited. However, the number is up to the maximum total number of allowed
connections.
Mode
Firewall Configuration
Usage
This command allows you to limit the number of firewall sessions associated with
a specific entity. The limit will be applied to each host on that entity. This means
connection limits applied to an entity with multiple addresses will apply the limit
to individual hosts, not the total connections for the entity. The limit applies to
both IPv4 and IPv6.
If a connection limit rule is removed, any running connections are not stopped.
Changes to limits only affect new connections. Adding a lower limit will not affect
existing connections.
Examples
To set a connection limit for entity
DMZ
, use the following command:
awplus(config-firewall)#
connection-limit
1 from DMZ with limit 10000
To remove the connection limit, use the following command:
awplus(config-firewall)#
no connection-limit
1
