Reset - Multi-queue, dynamic balancing, and flow director to default values

 

 Please, perform the steps in this order:

  1. Set the Multiqueue to auto first:
    • # mq_mng --set-mode auto
  2. Enable Dynamic balancing:
    • # dynamic_balancing -o enable
    • No need to change the coreXL instances in cpconfig since dynamic balancing will take care of that after its enabled.
  3. Enable Flow Director:
    • # ethtool -K eth1-01 ntuple on
  4. Reboot member and repeat on the other firewall.
