IP TTL default for any EXOS switch is 64.

64 what? ms or sec or min?

TTL is measured in hops. So anytime the packet is routed.

Sidney, You can also perform an SNMP get against OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.2.0 to get the default ttl value or ping an interface on the switch.

X450e-48p.12 # show snmp get 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.2.0
mib_2.4.2.0 = 64

* X450e-48p.14 # ping 11.11.11.11
Ping(ICMP) 11.11.11.11: 4 packets, 8 data bytes, interval 1 second(s).
16 bytes from 11.11.11.11: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.060 ms
16 bytes from 11.11.11.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=10 ms
16 bytes from 11.11.11.11: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.335 ms
16 bytes from 11.11.11.11: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=8.085 ms

reason for my questions, a consulting company that helped us migrate to dynamics 2013, is noticing that when they run a query from the server the report is generated. however when the client runs the report the hour glass just spins because the TCP connection either time-out or was closed. client - extremeSW - ospf (54ms) to our coreSW - FW which the vlan is behind the FW. The Fortigate FW's default TCP time-out is 60min. Trying to determine where it is dropped, i guess I need to fire up Wireshark.
