A firewall has 8 CPU cores and the correct license. CoreXL is enabled. How could you set
kernel instance #3 to run on processing core #5?

A.
Edit the file fwaffinity.conf and add the line “k3 cpuid 5”

B.
This is not possible CoreXL is best left to manage the Kernel to CPU core mappings. It is
only when a daemon is bound to a dedicated core that CoreXL will ignore that CPU core
when mapping Kernel instances to CPU cores.

C.
fw ctl affinity -s -k 3 5

D.
Run fwaffinity_apply –t 3 -k 5 and then check that the settings have taken affect with the
command fw ctl multik stat.
