Description

 
This article describes how to disable TCP window scaling with FortiMail v4.0, v7.x, and v8.x.

FortiMail v3.0 had a CLI command to modify the Linux sysctl variables.


Scope

 

FortiMail v4.0, v7.x, v8.x MR3.


Solution

 
In FortiMail v4.0, v7.x, and v8.x there is no command to modify these variables; however, in some instances, TCP window scaling might have to be disabled.

To disable TCP window scaling, connect to the CLI of the FortiMail and run the following CLI command:

config system kernel
    edit sys.net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling
        set value 0
    next
end
