Configuration Guide Configuring TCP
in continuous SYN flooding. When a device actively makes a request for a connection with an external
device, through telnet for example, shortening SYN timeout reduces user's wait time. You may prolong SYN
timeout properly on a poor network.
Configuring TCP Window Size
size: Indicates a TCP window size. It ranges from 128 to (65535 << 14) bytes. The default is 65535 bytes.
Global configuration mode
Configuring the Sending of TCP Reset Packets After Receiving Port Unreachable Messages
Global configuration mode
By default, TCP reset packet sending upon receiving port unreachable messages is enabled.
Configuring MSS
ip tcp mss max-segment-size
max-segment-size: Indicates the maximum segment size. It ranges from 68 to 10000 bytes. By default, the
MSS is calculated based on MTU.
Global configuration mode
This command defines the MSS for a TCP communication to be established. The negotiated MSS for a new
connection should be smaller than this MSS. If you want to reduce the MSS, run this command. Otherwise,
do not perform the configuration.
Configuring MSS Value for TCPv4 SYN Packets
ip tcp adjust-mss max-segment-size
max-segment-size: Indicates the maximum segment size, ranging from 500 to 1460 bytes
Interface configuration mode
Configuring MSS Value for TCPv6 SYN Packet
ipv6 tcp adjust-mss max-segment-size
