CAPWAP Offloading (NP6 only)
CAPWAP Offloading (NP6 only)
Simple Network Topology
NP6 offloading over CAPWAP traffic is supported by all the FortiGate high-level models and most middle-level models.
NP6 offloading over CAPWAP configuration
- NP6 session fast path requirements:
config system npu set capwap-offload enable end
- Enable the capwap-offload option in system npu
config firewall policy edit 1
set auto-asic-offload enable
next end
- NP6 offloading over CAPWAP traffic is supported:
- only with traffic from Tunnel mode VAP. l dtls-policy is clear-text or ipsec-vpn in wireless-controller wtp-profile configuration.
- Traffic is not offloaded when dtls-policy=dtls-enable l Traffic is not offloaded with fragment.
Verify the system session of NP6 offloading
- check the system session, when dtls-policy=clear-text to verify npu info: flag=0x81/0x89, offload=8/8
