auxiliary-session configuration issue

[sunnew]

When I enter the auxiliary-session command on the fortigate 50e device, it does not work.

I would like to know if the auxiliary-session command is not set on the fortigate 50e device or if it is a version issue.

• In FortiOS 6.0 and earlier, the auxiliary session feature is not supported.
• In FortiOS 6.2.0 to 6.2.2, the auxiliary session feature is permanently enabled.
• In FortiOS 6.2.3 and later, the auxiliary session feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled if required.

Thanks for the reply

My fortigate 50e version is 6.2.14.

When checking the settings, there is no set auxiliary-session command.

Do you have multiple VDOMs? If so, from which VDOM are you checking the command?

If this is not the case then I guess it may not exist on small models, because it consumes extra resources when enable  (this is just a supposition that need to be checked).

My device does not have multiple vdom set up

During initial setup of fortigate 50e device
config system setting -> set auxiliary-session enable/disable
The command is not visible.

(I have a 60F device, so the command is confirmed when setting 60F on the same OS.)

Hi @sunnew,

Looks like that command is removed and only works on hardware with NPU (higher models only).

thank you for your answer.

Is there a way to check if my device has a hardware npu?

Datasheet says no NPU.
