Set TCP timeout settings before or after establishing connection?

[Symbai]

Using the SetSocketOption options it is not written in the documentation whether I should set them before or after establishing the connection. Like:

TcpClient tcpClient = new();
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.KeepAlive, true);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveTime, 5);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveInterval, 5);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveRetryCount, 5);
await tcpClient.ConnectAsync("1.1.1.1", 12345);
//...

or

TcpClient tcpClient = new();
await tcpClient.ConnectAsync("1.1.1.1", 12345);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.KeepAlive, true);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveTime, 5);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveInterval, 5);
tcpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.TcpKeepAliveRetryCount, 5);
//...

As far as I know, it should be safe to set all options before connecting.
