show smartnic-cache

You can view the current accelerator cache contents or view the prior cache data file. This command may affect DNS query response performance for around 15 seconds during execution. This command applies only to IB-4030 and IB-4030-10GE appliances with DNS cache acceleration license enabled.

Syntax

show smartnic-cache

Example

show dns-accel-cache

The show dns-accel-cache command displays the following operating characteristics of the software-based DNS Cache Acceleration appliance:

Syntax

show dns-accel-cache

Example

Infoblox > show dns-accel-cache 
This operation should take about 15 seconds to complete. During this period, there may be a slight impact on the DNS query performance for this member.
