Fortigate - Session Timeouts

For places that have lots of sessions and you’re using the session view lots the DNS sessions tend to be like 40% of the active sessions. FortiGate keeps them open for 3600 seconds by default which is a waste since most of the time dns only needs a couple of seconds. It also can’t really reuse the sessions.   The below will set the FortiGate to age out non active DNS protocol sessions after 15 seconds.   config system session-ttl         config port             edit 53                 set protocol 17                 set timeout 15                 set start-port 53                 set end-port 53             next         end end
