The LoadMaster Connection Timeout must be set to one day. The reason why this value can be set so high is because the LoadMaster monitors client connection to Real Servers and if a server fails then the LoadMaster can drop the associated client connections to that Real Server. Clients are disconnected from the LoadMaster and then reconnected to the LoadMaster to connect to another Real Server.

One day is the maximum value for this setting and it must be used in conjunction with the Drop Connections on RS failure option.

  1. To configure the Connection Timeout, click System Configuration.
  2. Click Miscellaneous Options.
  3. Click L7 Configuration.

  4. Enter 86400 (1 day) in the L7 Connection Drain Time (secs) field and click Set Time.
