Virtual Server /SNAT and Timeout
Hi,
i am running : BIG-IP 9.2.3 Build 34.8 and i have the following problem.
I have a VIP . 172.25.128.51 which uses the "tcp profile" which i have modified to extend the idle timeout to 1800 seconds as people were complaining that the application was timing out after 5 minutes [300 seconds which is the default number of seconds for the tcp profile]. This VIP is associated to a default pool which contains two servers.
This VIP used to have "Automap" selected for SNAT. But after reading this article https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/600/sol7606.html?sr=690509 i understand why the timeout of 5 mintues was still there [Note: An automap SNAT has a non-configurable idle timeout of 300 seconds.]
So what i did is: I created a SNAT pool with the IP address of the VIP [what the BIG-IP LTM does when you select automap in fact] changed the TCP Idle Timeout to 1800 seconds and associated that pool with that VIP
But the timeout is still 5 minutes or 300 seconds. What am i missing?
Regards
