3.6.1 Number of filter entries
The following table describes the maximum number of filter entries that can be set per switch for each flow detection mode.
Filter entries can be configured on the receiver and sender, and the maximum number of entries is the sum of the receiver and sender.

When a filter entry is added, a discard entry, which is enabled when flow is undetected, is automatically applied to the Ethernet interface or VLAN interface. This means that the full number of filter entries is not available. Count the number of available filter entries as follows:
Example 1:
Entry condition: One entry is set for Ethernet interface 1/0/1.
Number of entries: Two entries (the entry to be set and the discard entry for Ethernet interface 1/0/1) are used.
Number of remaining entries: Maximum number of filter entries-Number of used entries
Example 2:
Entry condition: Two entries are assigned to Ethernet interface 1/0/1 and three entries are assigned to the VLAN10 interface.
Number of entries: Seven entries (five entries to be set, the discard entry for Ethernet interface 1/0/1, and the discard entry for the VLAN10 interface) are used.
Number of remaining entries: Maximum number of filter entries-Number of used entries
