sim enable_aesni

Description

Enables SecureXL support for AES Instruction Set (AES-NI), if the CPU supports it.

Important:

The same SecureXL command must run on all Security Group Members.

Therefore, you must run the SecureXL commands in either Gaia gClish, or Expert mode.

  • In Gaia gClish, run the "sim ..." and "sim6 ..." commands.

  • In the Expert mode, run the "g_sim ..." and "g_sim6 ..." commands.

Syntax for IPv4

sim [-i <SecureXL ID>] enable_aesni

Syntax for IPv6

sim6 enable_aesni

Possible command outputs

  • sim_aesni_enable: Enabled AES-NI, but machine does not have this feature

  • sim_aesni_enable: Enabled AES-NI, and the machine supports this feature

  • sim_aesni_enable: Failed to enable AES-NI. RC=-1

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-i <SecureXL ID>
