Acceleration
In this command tree, all hardware acceleration options will be handled. At the moment only Intel® QAT is supported
Intel® QAT
use this command to check if there is an Intel® QAT supported Processor in your system.
vyos@vyos:~$ show system acceleration qat
01:00.0 Co-processor [0b40]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor C3000 Series QuickAssist Technology [8086:19e2] (rev 11)
if there is non device the command will show `No QAT device found`
Check if the Intel® QAT device is up and ready to do the job.
vyos@vyos:~$ show system acceleration qat status
Checking status of all devices.
There is 1 QAT acceleration device(s) in the system:
qat_dev0 - type: c3xxx, inst_id: 0, node_id: 0, bsf: 0000:01:00.0, #accel: 3 #engines: 6 state: up
Operation Mode
Show the full config uploaded to the QAT device.
Example
Let’s build a simple VPN between 2 Intel® QAT ready devices.
Side A:
set interfaces vti vti1 address '192.168.1.2/24'
set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 dh-group '14'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface 'eth0'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 authentication pre-shared-secret 'Qwerty123'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 connection-type 'initiate'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 default-esp-group 'MyESPGroup'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 ike-group 'MyIKEGroup'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 local-address '10.10.10.2'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.1 vti bind 'vti1'
Side B:
set interfaces vti vti1 address '192.168.1.1/24'
set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
set vpn ipsec esp-group MyESPGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 dh-group '14'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
set vpn ipsec ike-group MyIKEGroup proposal 1 hash 'sha256'
set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface 'eth0'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 authentication pre-shared-secret 'Qwerty123'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 connection-type 'initiate'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 default-esp-group 'MyESPGroup'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 ike-group 'MyIKEGroup'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 local-address '10.10.10.1'
set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 10.10.10.2 vti bind 'vti1'
a bandwidth test over the VPN got these results:

with set system acceleration qat on both systems the bandwidth
increases.
