HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

*** Our main warehouse will be closed from 1pm on 24th December, then reopen 2nd January as normal, so any hardware orders received after Tuesday 24th will be despatched on Thursday 2nd January ***

*** Software & subscription orders will still be processed between Xmas and New Year but they may take a little longer due to reduced levels of staff here, and at SonicWall. Apologies for any inconvenience ***

SonicWall NSA 250M high memory usage

If you've upgraded your NSA 250M to 5.9.x you may notice the memory usage constantly high and sometimes being unable to log into the management GUI.

This usually occurs when the cpu core 0 is constantly high, and caused by a setting change.

Log into the NSA 250M and navigate to Firewall Settings -> Flood Protection. You will probably see under TCP Settings, an option called Enforce strict TCP compliance with FRC 793, RFC 1122 and RFC 1323 which will be enabled (ticked). Untick this option, and click on Accept to apply the change. This should help resolve the problem.
