Configuring TCP timers You can configure the following TCP timers: • SYN wait timer-TCP starts the SYN wait timer after sending a SYN packet. If no response packet is received within the SYN wait timer interval, TCP fails to establish the connection. • FIN wait timer-TCP starts the FIN wait timer when the state changes to FIN_WAIT_2. If no FIN packet is received within the timer interval, TCP terminates the connection. If a FIN packet is received, TCP changes connection state to TIME_WAIT. If a non-FIN packet is received, TCP restarts the timer, and tears down the connection when the timer expires. To configure TCP timers: Step 1. Enter system view. Command system-view 2. Configure TCP timers. • Configure the TCP SYN wait timer: tcp timer syn-timeout time-value • Configure the TCP FIN wait timer: tcp timer fin-timeout time-value Remarks N/A By default: • The TCP SYN wait timer is 75 seconds. • The TCP FIN wait timer is 675 seconds. Enabling sending ICMP error packets Perform this task to enable sending ICMP error packets, including redirect, time-exceeded, and destination unreachable packets. • ICMP redirect packets A host that has only one default route sends all packets to the default gateway. The default gateway sends an ICMP redirect packet to inform the host of a correct next hop by following these rules: { The receiving and sending interfaces are the same. { The selected route is not created or modified by any ICMP redirect packet. { The selected route is not destined for 0.0.0.0. { There is no source route option in the received packet. ICMP redirect packets simplify host management and enable hosts to gradually optimize their routing table. • ICMP time-exceeded packets A device sends ICMP time-exceeded packets by following these rules: { If a received packet is not destined for the device and the TTL field of the packet is 1, the device sends an ICMP TTL Expired in Transit packet to the source. { When the device receives the first fragment of an IP datagram destined for it, it starts a timer. If the timer expires before all the fragments of the datagram are received, the device sends an ICMP Fragment Reassembly Timeout packet to the source. • ICMP destination unreachable packets A device sends ICMP destination unreachable packets by following these rules: 111
