Adjusting global NP7 load balancing timers

This section describes the global NP7 timers that you can adjust from the CLI. These timers affect the operation of the NP7 processors in the FIMs that are used for session-aware load balancing.

config global

config system global

set dp-tcp-normal-timer <timer>

end

dp-tcp-normal-timer the time to wait before the NP7 processors close an idle TCP session. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 3605 seconds. Some FortiGate-7000F implementations may need to increase this timer if TCP or UDP sessions with NAT enabled are expected to or found to be idle for more than 3605 seconds.
