display device

Purpose

Displays general product information, including the product name, MAC address, boot, post, and firmware versions, memory usage, CPU utilization, and uptime, or the amount of time since the device was last booted. The information displayed by this option is the same as that displayed by the info device command (see info device).

100% CPU Utilization may indicate encryption key generation is in‑progress

There may be instances when a display device command returns a CPU utilization of 100%. A CPU usage this high may indicate that encryption key generation is in-progress.

On initial boot, the Digi device generates some encryption key material:

RSA key for SSL/TLS operations
DSA key for SSH operations.

This key-generation process can take as long as 40 minutes to complete. Until the corresponding key is generated, the Digi device will be unable to initiate or accept that type of encrypted connection. It will also report itself as 100% busy but, since key generation takes place at a low priority, the device still functions normally. On subsequent reboots, the Digi device uses its existing keys and will not need to generate another unless a reset to factory defaults is done, which causes a new key to be generated on the next reboot.

Required permissions

For Digi products with two or more users, set permissions to set permissions display=execute to use this command. See set permissions for details on setting user permissions for commands.
