Network tunable parameter

Depending on the number of tunnels in your configuration, you can increase the maximum buffer size for a socket.

If a large number of tunnels are running in your environment and the sb_max tunable parameter remains at the default value, the IKE daemon process and the Tunnel Manager daemon process might stop responding because of the heavy load in the network.

You might want to use the following values for the sb_max tunable parameter:
  • 10 MB for 500 tunnels
  • 20 MB for 1000 tunnels
