Hello , I had a problem like that before....
Full message is "TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN;"

This happens sometimes because of routing issues....your firewall maybe
is connected to another routing device or firewall, so the initiating
connection of your Sql Connection(SYN PACKET) is not passing through the
firewall, but the receiving connection (ACK PACKET) is passing through
the firewall, that's why  it tells you that first packet should be SYN,
instead ACK.......that means that the firewall is not seeing the first
packet connection, because your are sending that packet through another
routing device. What you can do is a traceroute from your sql clients ->
sql server and viceversa. That could gives you a pretty good idea if
something with the routing is not ok.


I hope this helps..

Asunto: [FW-1] Dropped out-of-state connections after upgrade from R60
to R65

Hi everybody.

We have upgraded our firewall platform, running in a Crossbeam X40
chassis, from R60 to R65 HFA30 last week.

Since then, we have noticed that some legitimate Oracle SQL connections
are being dropped. The log says they are out-of-state packets, though
they shouldn't.

We have checked wether aggressive aging was activated, but it seems it
isn't:

fw_1 (crossbeam): root$ fw ctl pstat

Machine Capacity Summary:
  Memory used: 2% (22MB out of 801MB) - below low watermark
  Concurrent Connections: 0% (124 out of 24900) - below low watermark
  Aggressive Aging is not active

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
