Re: [FW-1] OUT OF STATE PACKETS



HI Jason, I am going to give my friend Eric the credit for the answer
included below, its worth looking at!
By default, the firewall will timeout any connections after 3600 seconds
(1 hour).  Your citrix connections are probably being kept opened a lot
longer than that, so after an hour they will be timeout, taken out of
the fw state table, and you will get this error.  There are several
possible solutions.

You can adjust the global TCP session timeout in the Global Properties
-> Stateful Inspection section.

You should also be able to deselect "Drop out of state TCP packets" and
the firewall will recompare the traffic to the policy after the timeout
is reached instead of just dropping it.  (I have experienced some
problems with this working in the past with NG, but have not seen any
problems since FP3.  Anyone else have any experiences?)

You can also adjust the TCP session timeout on a per protocol basis.
Open the Citrix TCP service, select "Advanced", and at the bottom you
can change the "Session Timeout" from using the default value to using a
higher value.  (You can try setting the value to zero, in the 4.1 days
this would cause the session to never timeout, but I do not know what it
will do in NG)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Will

Subject: [FW-1] OUT OF STATE PACKETS

I am currently running a citrix server( on dmz subnet ) with a published
app accessing another server's  database on a private lan subnet .
These subnets are directly connected to the nokia ip 330 ng fp2 cluster
I am running . I also have dial-up customer's accessing the
published application on the citrix server.
The problem is I experience a huge amount of " out of state " packets in
the fw log between the citrix server and the database server on the
private Lan ,
I have checked the nic settings on the server s ( set to 100 Full dup )
and on the switches there is no auto -negotiation.
I wonder has anyone set up this solution with dialup clients and wan
clients using citrix published app to access a swift alliance access
database ?. I dont understand why there would be so many out of state
packets ?.
Is the tcp timeout value to low or is it the drop out of state udp
packets ?

Thanks
