**Also the following workaround is available**: change ALL present policy layer names to be shorter than 32 characters and install policy.

Go to Smart Console - "Security policies" - press Ctrl+T - click "Manage policies and layers" on the right side - enter subsection "Layers" - uncheck box "Show only shared layers".

The output of '*fwaccel stat'*should show the correct layer and rule number, for example:

Accelerator Status : on  
Accept Templates : disabled by Firewall  
Layer TestPolicy Network disables template offloads from rule #2  
Throughput acceleration still enabled.
