sshdCfgClientAliveCountMax

BIANCA-BRICK-SSH-MIB · .1.3.6.1.4.1.272.4.44.1.18

Object

scalar mandatory r/w Integer32
Sets the number of client alive messages (see above) which
may be sent without sshd receiving any messages back from
the client. If this threshold is reached while client alive
messages are being sent, sshd will disconnect the client,
terminating the session.
It is important to note that the use of client alive messages
is very different from KeepAlive (above). The client alive
messages are sent through the encrypted channel and therefore
will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by
KeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable
when the client or server depend on knowing when a connection
has become inactive.
          
The default value is 3.
If ClientAliveInterval (above) is set to 15, and
ClientAliveCountMax is left at the default, unresponsive ssh
clients will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds.
