ERROR

This message occurs when the rate of incoming network connections for a service exceeds the maximum allowed rate. The service is temporarily suspended and restarted after a configured wait time. Many such connection attempts can potentially disallow other users from logging in to the storage system, causing a Denial of Service (DOS) attack.

Reduce the rate at which the network connections are issued.

Number of incoming network connections exceeded the configured limit of %d connections per second for the service %s. This service will be stopped and restarted after %d seconds.

connections (INT): Maximum number of network connections allowed to access the service per second.
service (STRING): Service invoked by xinetd.
seconds (INT): Number of seconds xinetd must wait before reenabling the service.

This message occurs when the maximum number of incoming network connections per source IP address for a service is reached. New connection requests from this source IP address for the service are rejected until the existing connections are terminated. Many such connection attempts could potentially disallow other users from logging in to the storage system, causing a Denial of Service (DOS) attack.

If the remote host is retrying the network connection repeatedly, block the remote host by adding its IP address to the deny list using the "firewall policy" command.
