FWSM and NFS 4 inspection

teknet7

Hello

I have NFS4 communication. I would like FWSM to perform NFS4 inspection - of course without payload which is encrypted (just port negotiations/control port). What can do FWSM with NFS4 ? I can not find any specific information. What is maximum NFS throughput it can handle ?

Best Regards,

Michal Garcarz

NFSv4 does not use RPC like NFSv2 and v3 used to. It does not communicate on
port 111 which is the port that our sunrpc inspection is examining.

NFS in its version 3 avatar (NFSv3) was not stateful: NFSv4 is.

Regarding throughput you may want to reach out to your local Cisco account team.
