CPU affinity

CPU affinity, whereby a process will execute on a specific CPU, can be changed so it survives a reboot.

CLI syntax:

config system global

set av-affinity

set ips-affinity

set miglog-affinity

end

av-affinity: Affinity setting for AV scanning (64-bit hexadecimal value in the format of xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx).

ips-affinity: Affinity setting for IPS (64-bit hexadecimal value in the format of xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx; allowed CPUs must be less than total number of IPS engine daemons). This option is only available if the FortiGate includes NP6 processors and support NTurbo.

miglog-affinity: Affinity setting for logging (64-bit hexadecimal value in the format of xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx).
