The following topic explains the CLI commands to check the operation mode for Service Engines.
SEs operate in DPDK mode or non-DPDK (PCAP) mode. The show serviceengine <service engine name> interface command is used to check the operation mode for SEs. The SE operation mode is available under the se_oper_mode attribute.
CLI Commands to Check SE Operation Mode
Login to the NSX Advanced Load Balancer CLI and use the show serviceengine <service engine name> interface command. The following command output exhibits SE operation mode as SE_DPDK.
