ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN FVS336G Reference Manual Configuring Session Limits To prevent one user or group from using excessive system resources, you can limit the total number of IP sessions allowed through the FVS336G for an individual or group. You can specify the maximum number of sessions by either a percentage of maximum sessions or an absolute number of maximum sessions. Session limiting is disabled by default. To configure session limits: 1. Select Security > Firewall > Session Limit to display the Session Limit tab page. Figure 4-17 2. Click Yes to enable Session Limits. 3. In the pull-down menu, select whether you will limit sessions by percentage or by absolute number. The percentage is computed based on the total connection capacity of the device.When setting a limit based on absolute number, note that some protocols (for example, FTP and RSTP) create two sessions per connection. 4.
