You can use the `show`` ``connection_limit`` `command to display the per client IP address maximum connection limit for the following protocols: HTTP and HTTPS. Note that maximum connections here refer to the network level connections, not application level connections. For example, an HTTPS connection limit of 4 means that there can be a maximum of four TCP connections between any given client IP address and the appliance that are concerned using the HTTPS protocol.  
 To set the maximum connection limit, see *<span style="color: #0000ff">[set](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35761527)</span>*[ ](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35761527)*<span style="color: #0000ff">[connection_limit](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35761527)</span>*.
