Verify that the Cavium Driver is up to Date

If a Bivio 7000 appliance is fitted with Cavium CN1615 Security Processor cards, the NBA offloads the computationally expensive cryptographic operations to the Cavium device, freeing the Bivio CPUs from these operations and thereby maintaining high performance.

Therefore, if you want to use the SSL decoding functionality, verify that your Bivio appliance is using the latest Cavium driver.

To update the Cavium driver

Check which version of the Cavium driver is currently installed. To do this, execute the following command from an NBA CPU-X login:
```
rpm -qa | grep cavium
```
The output shows which version of the Cavium rpm is currently installed (for example, cavium-3.00-2)
If the installed version is older than the version on the CA Support Online download site ("Cavium 3.00 - 2"), delete the existing version.
To delete the existing version, execute the following command:
```
rpm -e cavium
```
Install the new version of the Cavium rpm. To do this, execute the following command in the directory where the .rpm is present:
```
rpm -ivh cavium-3.00-2.ppc.rpm
```
Note: The version number shown here is an example. Replace this example with the appropriate version number.
Reboot the Bivio appliance. To do this, execute the following command:
```
nrsp reboot system
```
