Zone: pf states limit reached?
-
@Derelict thank you sir. How much Firewall Maximum States would be needed sir? Is there any recommendation number of the states needed? Thank you
-
If you are reaching maximum states, it will be up to you to determine why and what a reasonable limit is. What is the maximum state value in your environment? Why is it so high?
-
@Derelict thank you sir, I have 5 laboratories inside sir and each lab has 35 workstation, and in offices there are 60+ computers. I did not fill in any number in the maximum states I leave it blank as a default.
-
So what is that number? How many states are active when you get that error? What are those workstations doing? You can view historical total states in Status > Monitoring. How much RAM?
-
@Derelict
this is the monitoring graph sir, I have 8GB RAM installed. Those workstation are used for browsing only. -
Show us states. Change the left axis to System and the graph to states. click the wrench at the upper right.
-
@Derelict this one sir
-
It looks like you have significant stability problems there. 300 state changes is nothing. literally nothing. Not sure why you disabled showing total states though. I would be looking for faulty hardware based on that.
-
640K max states is significant though. You would want to find the reason for that. With 8GB setting max states to something like 2,000,000 would not break anything in and of itself. But 640K states is a lot if you don't know why they are there.

@Derelict Thank you for your time sir. It seems like it works fine right now. Thumbs up sir thanks a lot.
-
That is a lot of states. Does it make sense that those all exist in your environment?
