Hello Everybody,

I am running a Firewall Cluster XL, just one node active the another one is in standby. The issue is the suddenly the Firewall started to drop packets by the SmartDefense since there were many connection which exceeded the number of connections per second permited (SmartDefense -> Network Quota option). The issue is that it doesn't seems to be one attack since all the connectios are valid ones, for my understanding the clients are asking more information than before since all the packes droped are going from the clients to the oracle server (port 1521/tcp).

My question is:

1.- How can I measure or know the amount of concurrent connections at one specific time, maybe they are more than the 25000 which the default. ?

fw tab -t connections -s

but futher more you can have a look at the syslogs of your firewall - you will see error-messages there if your table-buffers (session or nat) are full.

2.- How can I configure the cluster XL so that it can perform load balancing (both modules working) instead of active/standby (just one module working) feature.

in the cluster-objekt you can change that.

fyi: for active-active clusterXL you need a license ...
