156-590 practice question 3 of 10

What information is provided by "fwaccel stats"?

Answer options

A: This command is to enable acceleration on QoS packets.

B: You can check the percentage of F2F connections along with the reason why those connections could not be accelerated. Correct answer

C: The command is used to examine traffic utilization statistics.

D: You can check the SecureXL status of your Security Gateway.

Correct Answer:

B. You can check the percentage of F2F connections along with the reason why those connections could not be accelerated.

Explanation

The fwaccel stats command queries SecureXL on the Security Gateway and returns packet-acceleration statistics: number/percentage of packets handled in Accelerated (Fast/SXL), Medium (PXL), and Slow (F2F) paths, packets/bytes accelerated, and related drop counters. It is used only for SecureXL monitoring and gives no CoreXL, interface, or debug information.

Why Incorrect

A – Describes CoreXL instance status, which is displayed by fw ctl affinity, not fwaccel stats. C – Interface-level acceleration enable/disable is shown with fwaccel stat –i, not the plain stats command. D – Packet-accelerator debug tables are produced by fwaccel dbg or sim dbg, not by fwaccel stats.
