Measuring encryption performance

• -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

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.
