Policy Map TCP Connection Policy Overview
Policy maps have four basic actions that can be assigned to traffic flow. In addition to these
four actions, policy maps offer a general connection policy that can manage the actual traffic
flow’s connection state. This is useful if a security administrator needs to restrict the number
of HTTP connects allowed through parts of the network or needs to restrict the time a
connection is allowed to stay up. To assign a connection policy, the set connection command
must be applied to a class map in class configuration mode like the other four policy map
actions:
set connection {[conn-max number] [embryonic-conn-max number] [random-sequence-number
{enable | disable}}
Table 8-5 describes the options of the set connection command.
