PIX 525 PUSH performance and Exchange 7

[patrick.roche]

Regarding Exchange7, it has been recommended for optimal Direct Push performance that we should increase the time-out value on our PIX525 firewall from the default to 15 to 30 minutes. Could you let me know how I determine the default value at present and the command for resetting this value, also do you know of any reason that this may cause an issue.

The OS version is 6.3(3)

There is no separate timeout for http on pix, the TCP connection timeout applies to it as well. It is 1 hour by default on PIX. Also I think the article may be related to the 'uauth' timeout on pix, which is the authentication timeout.

It is 5 mins by default , you can change it by :

timeout uauth 00:15:00

This will set it to 15 mins.
