Chapter 15 Unified Threat Management for FortiOS 5.0 : Intrusion protection : Configure IPS options : Hardware Acceleration
  
Hardware Acceleration
In order to provide control over the hardware’s processing of IPS there are commands to configure and control the hardware accelleration of IPS. There are two settings that can be chosen, one for the network processor and one for the content processor.
Network processor acceleration can be disabled or set to enable basic acceleration.
Content processor acceleration can be disabled or set to either basic or advanced acceleration.
These Settings are only found in the CLI:
config ips global
set np-accel-mode {none | basic}
set cp-accel-mode {none | basic | advanced}
end
