OK, as you can see got that error as well as these:
*Aug 8 00:03:37: %MLSCEF-SP-4-FIB_EXCEPTION_THRESHOLD: Hardware CEF entry usage is at 95% capacity for MPLS protocol.
*Aug 8 00:03:36: %MLSCEF-SP-STDBY-4-FIB_EXCEPTION_THRESHOLD: Hardware CEF entry usage is at 95% capacity for MPLS protocol.
*Aug 8 00:03:39: %MLSCEF-DFC2-4-FIB_EXCEPTION_THRESHOLD: Hardware CEF entry usage is at 95% capacity for MPLS protocol.
*Aug 8 00:03:41: %MLSCEF-DFC1-4-FIB_EXCEPTION_THRESHOLD: Hardware CEF entry usage is at 95% capacity for IPv4 unicast protocol.
Little background on what I have and what was being done when this happened. I hope this makes sense from a design standpoint, but I am working with the hardware and services I have been given and trying to make it function.
Currently we have a 7609 that is doing PE as well as full Internet table border duties. I don't have dedicated route reflectors and no router redundancy, I am fairly limited by budget. We are preparing to roll out MPLS enterprise services and in preperation, I was planning on pushing the Internet table to an "Internet" VRF so I can easily bleed over routes to allow Internet access for the users as well as putting the phone switch in that VRF so it can have public access and also facilitate MPLS for customers that need to do voice (this will be most). I am limited to only this 7609 for this POP connected to a 6509 that does interior switching and interconnects. I am using a SUP720 with 1GB of RAM. I am currently consuming approximately 650MB of RAM and processor averages 10% and spikes to 60% max during BGP sweeper.
FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
IPv4 + MPLS - 512k (default)
IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)
There is my FIB TCAM
Total routes: 427677
IPv4 unicast routes: 427571
IPv4 Multicast routes: 3
MPLS routes: 102
IPv6 unicast routes: 1
IPv6 multicast routes: 0
EoM routes: 0
And there is current usage, as you can see, still within the allotment. It locked up during the errors, but I was consoled in so I could see everything. It stated I ran out of memory, gave errors for not being able to allocate labels (I realize I would probably have to increase the allocation for LDP) and turned off CEF/distributed forwarding. I have attached a text file with the output I got from the console, I deleted the BGP neighbor failures with any IPs, but the rest is untouched. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate the feedback.
