|
Echo interval for the caputp echo requests from swtp. |
|
Maximum retransmission count for the caputp tunnel packets. |
|
Time interval between collection of switch data (30 - 1800 sec). |
|
Periodic time interval to run Dynamic port policy engine (5 - 180 sec). |
|
MAC entry”s creation time. Time must be greater than this value for an entry to be created (0 - 10080 mins). |
|
MAC entry”s idle time. MAC entry is removed after this value (0 - 10080 mins). |
|
IoT scan interval (2 - 10080 mins). |
|
MAC entry”s confidence value. Value is re-queried when below this value . |
|
Periodic time interval to run NAC engine (5 - 180 sec). |
|
Maximum number of parallel processes. |
|
Enable/disable parallel process override. Choices:
|
|
Compatible/strict tunnel mode. Choices:
|
|
Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit. Default: |
