WLC 7005 active firewall sessions limit

  • 1.  WLC 7005 active firewall sessions limit

    Posted Apr 04, 2019 08:54 AM

    Hello,

     

    According to datasheet 7005 controller is limited by 16k active firewall sessions, does it mean it will stop processing traffic for new users or it won't enforce firewall at all above those limit?

     

    Is my understanding correct, active firewall session is the same concept as stateful connection in traditional firewall world, so any ICMP/TCP/UDP connection will consume 1 unit of available active sessions pool?

     

    Does this limitation apply with APs running in bridge mode?

     

    Thank you
