Example

You might configure the media type for an SGMII transceiver, and hardware 
accelerate dropping packets with TCP WinNuke or unknown IP protocol 
anomalies, but to pass packets with an IP time stamp.

config system interface

edit AMC-SW1/1

set mediatype sgmii
set fp-anomaly drop_winnuke drop_ipunknown_prot

pass_iptimestamp

end

config system npu

Network processing unit (

npu

, the FortiGate-ASM-FB4 module) settings appear 

when a FortiGate-ASM-FB4 module is installed. The following settings configure 
offloading behavior for IPSec VPN and traffic shaping.

Syntax

config system npu

set 

enc-offload-antireplay {enable | disable}

set 

dec-offload-antireplay {enable | disable}

set 

offload-ipsec-host {enable | disable}

set 

traffic-shaping-mode{bidirection | unidirection}

end

Variables

Description

Default

enc-offload-
antireplay 
{enable | 
disable}

Enable or disable offloading of IPSec encryption.
This option is used only when replay detection is 

enabled in Phase 2 configuration. If replay detection 

is disabled, encryption is always offloaded.

disable

dec-offload-
antireplay 
{enable | 
disable}

Enable or disable offloading of IPSec decryption.
This option is used only when replay detection is 

enabled in Phase 2 configuration. If replay detection 

is disabled, decryption is always offloaded.

enable

offload-ipsec-
host {enable | 
disable}

Enable or disable offloading of IPSec encryption of 

traffic from local host (FortiGate unit).

Note:

 For this option to take effect, the FortiGate unit 

must have previously sent the security association 

(SA) to the FortiGate-ASM-FB4 module. For details 

on SA offloading, see 

“IPSec offloading 

requirements” on page 9

.

disable

traffic-shaping-
mode{bidirection 
| unidirection}

Select the offloaded traffic shaping bandwidth 

calculation method.

unidirection

: The bandwidth limit applies per 

direction. For example, a unidirectional limit of 10 

KBps would result in an overall limit of 20 KBps 

— 10 KBps per direction.

bidirection

: The bandwidth limit applies to 

both directions overall. For example, a 

bidirectional limit of 10 KBps would result in an 

overall limit of 10 KBps — 5 KBps per direction.
