We have a Zyxel Zywall USG 20w here at work. Bandwidth is occasionally maxed out and things slow down. We have 2x2 Ethernet over copper and have just placed an order to up it to 3x3 Mbps but I am poking around this firewall and have a couple questions.
We have 8 users, all use RDP to connect to a remote host though we will be moving that box inhouse in about two weeks. We have VoIP phones with RingCentral. The quality and call dropping was bad and our efforts to resolve that only made it marginally better so I moved them outside of the firewall onto their own IP range. They share the 2Mbps bandwidth.
My question I notice that occasionally a user will end up having 30-40 open sessions in the firewall. The Zywall allows you to enable a session limit per host. I am wondering if someone can give me a sense of what that number should be, based on the setup I have described assuming all users use equal bandwidth?
It also is possible to adjust the Limit and Reauthentication times manually (currently 1440) but it looks like you have to assign a password and for the most part I'm just a default settings guy and am not sure what that implies.
