How to configure TCP timer in AIX TCP-stack?

[Guest_imported]

In TCP there are several timers controlling session status and terminating inactive sessions after timing out. One of the most important timers is the keepalive timer. It determines the amount of time a machine tries to send data over an established TCP connection without getting responses. It's default seems to 600 sec.
I need to configure this value. Is it possible and how can I do it?
Thanks in advance!

I guess you can use the [tt]no[/tt] command:

I look at it and guess the fasttimo, tcp_keepinit, tcp_keepintvl are options you need to tweak.
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.

For terminating inactive sessions, u should change the parameter tcp_keepidle. By default it's value is set to 14400 and you can view it by no -a|grep tcp
U should now that the unit used is 0.5 second.
For ending sessions after 2 min do
no -o tcp_keepidle=240
Change will be lost after reboot so insert the line into the inittab or to the rc.net

hope helpful
