Specifying CEF Maximum Routes
To specify the maximum number of routes that can be programmed in the FIB TCAM for a protocol, use the
set mls cef maximum-routes {ip | ip-multicast} routes command.
This command has the following characteristics:
* Changing the setting takes effect only after rebooting the active supervisor engine. The change does not take effect after a switchover.
* The setting on the standby supervisor engine is synchronized with the active supervisor engine. If the standby supervisor is inserted, both the bootup setting and new setting, if existing, on the active supervisor engine are synchronized with the standby supervisor engine. The standby supervisor engine uses the bootup setting to configure the FIB TCAM. The standby supervisor engine might need to be reset if its original bootup setting is different from the bootup setting of the active supervisor engine. An informational message (FIB_MAXROUTES_RESET) is printed on the active supervisor engine console if this situation occurs.
* To maximize the TCAM utilization, we recommend that you set the maximum routes for IP unicast as a multiple of 16,000 and set the maximum routes for IP multicast as a multiple of 8,000. The internal allocation scheme uses 16,000 as the allocation
unit for unicast and 8,000 as the allocation unit for multicast. For example, if IP unicast is set to 1,000, 16,000 entries are reserved, but only 1,000 is allowed.
* When the maximum routes is exceeded or the allocated TCAM space for a protocol is full, a system message (FIB_ALLOC_TCAM_FULL) displays. Because of the internal software allocation scheme, the allocated TCAM space might be full before the maximum routes is exceeded.
Notes:
If the routes values for all protocols are set to 0, the bootup default is used. When you set the routes value for one protocol to a non-zero value, the default value for the other protocol changes to the remaining size.
If the maximum number of routes is not set for an MLS protocol, a system-determined default value is shown. The default value for a protocol might not be fixed, as the system tries to assign the remaining space to the unassigned protocols. If the maximum-routes configuration is changed after bootup, the show mls cef maximum-routes command displays two kinds of information: one for the current (bootup) configuration and the other for the new configuration that takes effect after reboot.
