Route scale for ISR routers

[bn.thiyagarajan]

Hi folks,

Is there any document from Cisco on route scale limit (RIB & FIB) of Cisco 1841, 2811, 3825 routers?

Warm Regards

Hello,

for anything CPU-based (as opposed to TCAM-based), you will at best get an approximation of the maximum routes that can be held. It is largely determined by the amount of RAM. The 3825 has 1Gb of default RAM and can easily hold the entire BGP routing table (which currently consists of 500K + routes). Obviously with that many routes, your CPU can become a bottleneck factor as well.

Hi

I think could be find on the device specs, have you executed these commands:

show platform

show platform tcam + other arguments. 

show platform hardware ip  route summary

It could be useful:
