## Symptoms

- * In R81.20 or lower Management servers, when creating a new VSX object, the "Maximum Concurrent Tunnel" value is set to 200.

* In R82 or higher Management server, new VSX objects the "Maximum Concurrent Tunnel" value is set to 10,000.<br />

## Cause

Increased in resource optimization both in hardware and software allows for the higher default value.  

It is still recommended to adjust this value per the needs of the environment.
