View session distribution statistics.

Use the

show session distribution statistics

command to view the dataplane processors (DPs) on the firewall and the number of sessions on each active DP.

The following output is from a PA-7080 firewall:

>

show session distribution statistics

DPÂ Â Â Â Active Â Â Â Dispatched Dispatched/sec ------------------------------------------ s1dp0 Â Â Â 78698 Â Â Â 7829818Â Â Â 1473 s1dp1 Â Â Â 78775 Â Â Â 7831384Â Â Â 1535 s3dp0Â Â Â Â 7796Â Â Â Â Â 736639Â Â Â Â 1488 s3dp1 Â Â Â 7707Â Â Â Â Â 737026Â Â Â Â 1442

The

DP Active column

lists each dataplane on the installed NPCs. The first two characters indicate the slot number and the last three characters indicate the dataplane number. For example, s1dp0 indicates dataplane 0 on the NPC in slot 1 and s1dp1 indicates dataplane 1 on the NPC in slot1.

The

Dispatched

column shows the total number of sessions that the dataplane processed since the last time the firewall rebooted.

The

Dispatched/sec

column indicates the dispatch rate. If you add the numbers in the

Dispatched

column, the total equals the number of active sessions on the firewall. You can also view the total number of active sessions by running the

show session info CLI

command.

The PA-5200 Series firewall output will look similar, except that the number of DPs depends on the model and there is only one NPC slot (s1).
