Measuring encryption performance

6

FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --perfshow [slot] [-rx | -tx | -tx -rx]
[-interval

Whereby:

Slot displays the throughput of redirected I/O flow through the EE in a given slot of the
chassis.

-

tx displays the transmit throughput of the redirected I/O.

-

rx displays the receive throughput of the redirected I/O.

-

tx

-

rx displays the transmit and receive throughputs of the redirected I/O.

Interval represents a numeric value (in seconds) between refreshes.

Examples of the command output are shown below. The port number mentioned is the user port
number corresponding to the 8G capable FC platform/port facing towards the Encryption FPGA.

NOTE

For accurate results, ensure that the encryption engines (EEs) are online before executing the
command. If an EE is offline, throughput results will be shown as 0.

FabricAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --perfshow

In a DCX Backbone, the slot number is also displayed, along with the performance.

dcx:Admin> cryptocfg –-perfshow

slot2:

NOTE

Encryption performance throughput is sensitive to system configuration and will vary. For assistance
in optimizing performance, please refer to the

Encryption Best Practices Guide
