ACL OverFlow???

[CSCO12093326]

Can anyone tell me if they have ever saw a Cisco Router only allow 55 or less entries in an ACL before it ignores the rest after the 55th entry.

I have someone coming to me telling me that the access-list he implemented to permit a remote site to the headend only allows 55 ACE's. I refuse to believe Cisco would only allow 55 but am I wrong???

Every time he adds a new store to the top of the ACL the store that falls below the 55th ACE stops having access. Has anyone seen this before???

Thank you in advanced,

Chris

Hi,

As far I know it is really depends how much TCAM table size your device has. Because router has to cache ACLs into TCAM table. Also a realy huge ACL depends on CPU to process.

Hope it will help.
