Having a problem with connections being dropped...
here is the error message:::
Jan 14 07:16:38 rdcsd1a unix: FW-1: fw_xlate_set_tables: ld_set to
fwx_back_tab failed
Jan 14 07:16:38 rdcsd1a unix: FW-1: fw_init_xlation_tables:
fw_xlate_set_tables failed
Here is what I know:::
This is the NAT translation at work...It is failing due to
connection limits...
My connections are at the default 25K [no intent on changing this]
Here is what I would like to know:::
What/how/&why is fwx_back different than fwx_front...
What is fwx_back ....looking for a better description [actually
can't find one right now...]
ie: why is the count so much higher for _backw than _forw
localhost fwx_alloc 8187
2875
localhost fwx_backw 8188
12418
localhost fwx_forw 8189
3766
earlier in the day fwx_backw was hitting the 25K mark...it suddenly tapered
off & then stayed around the "norm" of 12K...
Looking for possible causes...www searches indicate either _legit_ traffic,
trojans, or possilbe scans...I would think a trojan wouldn't taper off
[could be wrong]...scans are a possibility...didn't get a sniffer there in
time to say...but "my gut" doesn't think this is it [it lasted for 5 hours &
was intermentent]....
Thoughts, comments, RTFM links...
Thanks,
TroyC
