View session distribution statistics. | Use the show session distribution statistics command
to view the dataplane processors (DPs) on the firewall and the number
of sessions on each active DP. The following output is from
a PA-7080 firewall: > show session distribution statistics
DP Active Dispatched Dispatched/sec
------------------------------------------
s1dp0 78698 7829818 1473
s1dp1 78775 7831384 1535
s3dp0 7796 736639 1488
s3dp1 7707 737026 1442 The DP
Active column lists each dataplane on the installed NPCs.
The first two characters indicate the slot number and the last three
characters indicate the dataplane number. For example, s1dp0 indicates
dataplane 0 on the NPC in slot 1 and s1dp1 indicates dataplane 1
on the NPC in slot1. The Dispatched column shows
the total number of sessions that the dataplane processed since
the last time the firewall rebooted. The Dispatched/sec column
indicates the dispatch rate. If you add the numbers in the Dispatched column, the
total equals the number of active sessions on the firewall. You can
also view the total number of active sessions by running the show session info CLI command.
The
PA-5200 Series firewall output will look similar, except that the
number of DPs depends on the model and there is only one NPC slot
(s1). |
