Viewing TCP global information

View TCP and UDP information to view the current configuration.

About this task

The fields on the TCP global tab provide information about the handshake (SYN) configuration and the maximum number of TCP connections you can create on your system.

When you initiate a TCP connection, both end points send handshake information to create the channel.

The retransmission algorithm and fields display the configured timeout value and minimum and maximum retransmission times that your system uses to terminate a connection attempt that falls outside your specified parameters.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration > IP folders.
  2. Click TCP/UDP.
  3. Click the TCP Globals tab.
