WS-SUP720-3B - 2 Full BGP Table - Max Routing Table?

[Alex Montoanelli]

Hi everyone..

In datasheet of  WS-SUP720-3B - link- was said that are only supported around 256K routes (fib?rib?)..

With this value I can't get 2 full bgp - that is around 850K ..

The supervisor is that control this or just memory ?

I said this because I have a 7204-npe-g1 whith 2 fullrouting and 1G of and he are ok..

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex

7600 does Hardware forwarding of packets. 7200 is a CEF router and packets are cef switched and it doesn't use any Hardware ASICfor paket forwarding.

256K limitation on SUP720-3B is becasue of the FIB TCAM which is used for hardware forwarding.

Thanks

BTW, the 720 XL variant handles much larger route tables.
