Set a time-out value for idle client connections

Last published : Sep 22, 2026
You can configure a virtual server to terminate any idle client connections after a configured time-out period (in seconds) elapses. When you configure this setting, the NetScaler appliance waits for the time you specify and, if the client is idle after that time, it closes the client connection. By default, the client idle time-out value is set to 180 seconds.
