ASA5580-20-BUN-K9 Throughput question

[gasparmenendez]

Hi folks, I'm looking for a little bit of clarification about the throughput of my ASA5580-20-BUN-K9 since I checked documentation from Cisco and says "Firewall Throughput: Up to 5 Gbps (real-world HTTP), 10 Gbps (jumbo frames)" but I'm suspecting that I'm not getting more than 2.5Gbps...(my Cacti graph is showing 2.46 Gbps max). Can anybody help me please ???

Thanks in advance. BR.

Do you have any services running on the 5580, like Firepower or IPS?

I think not, anyway if I check I get:

ASA5580# sh processes | i IPS
ASA5580#
ASA5580# sh processes | i Firepower
ASA5580#
ASA5580#

is this the correct way to check it??

thanks.

Sorry, missed that you typed 5580 and not 5585.
Not familiar with that old piece of hardware.

There was a slide called Maximizing Firewall Performance (2012 San Diego) with bunch of information.
Might be hard to investigate it in this forum, as we would need to know how everything is connected and also check interface statistics and configuration.
As i mentioned before, hardware is old and I think many has moved to newer platforms.
Would be great if anyone else is running a 5580-20 that could share their throughput.
Try post interface statistics, maybe it will show something.
