How to Configure Service Set Limits for Next Gen Services

date_range 06-Dec-23

To configure service set limits:

  1. Set the maximum number of session setups allowed per second for the service set. After this setup rate is reached, any additional session setup attempts are dropped. If you do not include the max-session-creation-rate statement, the session setup rate is not limited.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
     [edit services service-set service-set-name ]
    user@host# set max-session-setup-rate (number | numberk)
    

    If you use the numberk format, 1k=1000.

  2. Enable packets to bypass without creating a new session when the flow in the service set exceeds the limit that is set by the max-flows statement at the [edit services service-set service-set-name] hierarchy level.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options]
    user@host# bypass-traffic-on-exceeding-flow-limits
    
  3. To limit the session open information in you system logs, you can disable it from being collected.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options]
    user@host# set disable-session-open-syslog 
    
  4. Configure the maximum number of sessions allowed from a single subscriber.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options]
    user@host# set max-sessions-per-subscriber session-number
    
  5. Specify the maximum number of sessions allowed simultaneously on the service set. If you specify the maximum number of sessions to be zero, it indicates that the configuration is not effective. You must specify a value higher than zero for the maximum number of sessions.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
     [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options]
    user@host# set session-limit maximum number
    
  6. Configure the session lifetime for the service set in seconds. The session is closed after this amount of time, even if traffic is running on the session.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options]
    user@host# set session-timeout seconds
    
  7. Specify the inactivity timeout period for non-TCP established sessions.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host# set inactivity-non-tcp-timeout seconds
    
  8. Configure the TCP session parameters for the service-set.
    1. Set the timeout period for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session tear-down.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit services service-set-name services-options]
      user@host# set close-timout seconds
      

      The default value is 1 second. The range is 2 through 300 seconds.

    2. Configure the inactivity timeout period for asymmetric TCP established sessions

      content_copy zoom_out_map
       [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options tcp-session]
      user@host# set inactivity-asymm-tcp-timeout  seconds
      
    3. Configure the number of seconds that a unidirectional TCP session can be inactive before it is closed.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
       [edit services service-set service-set-name service-set-options tcp-session]
      user@host# set inactivity-tcp-timeout seconds
      

      The default value is 30 seconds. The range is 4 through 86,400 seconds. Any value you configure in the application protocol definition overrides the value specified here; for more information, see Configuring Application Properties for Next Gen Services.

    4. Set the timeout period for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session establishment, for use with SYN-cookie defenses against network intrusion.

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      [edit services service-set-name service-set-options ]
      user@host# set open-timeout seconds
      

      The default value is 5 seconds. The range of possible values is from 4 through 224 seconds. Any value you configure in the intrusion detection service (IDS) definition overrides the value specified here; for more information, see Configuring Network Attack Protection With IDS Screens for Next Gen Services.
