Configuration Guide Vol. 1


3.1 Number of table entries

You can change the allocation pattern of table entries by selecting a mode, according to the Switch environment. There are four modes: IPv4 mode, IPv4/IPv6 mode, IPv6 unicast priority mode, and L2 priority mode. Use the configuration command swrt_table_resource to set the mode.

This section describes the number of table entries per mode.

For details about the number of multipath route entries, see "Configuration Guide Vol.3" and "Table 8-5: Multipath Specifications".

The following table describes the maximum number of table entries per switch in each mode.

Note #1

When an extranet is used, if communication occurs on a directly connected route imported from another VRF, the ARP and NDP entries used for that communication will also be created in the VRF to which the route has been imported. As with ARP and NDP entries, the ARP and NDP entries created in the VRF where the route has been imported use resources equivalent to one entry. [SL-L3A]

Note #2

The capacity limit changes when VXLAN function is enabled. For details, see Table 3-2: Maximum number of dynamic entries and maximum number of static entries through Table 3-4: Maximum number of dynamic entries and maximum number of static entries.

Note #3

Up to 1983 unicast routes with a prefix length of 64 or less can be registered.

Note #4

Up to 5518 unicast routes with a prefix length of 64 or less can be registered.

Note #5

Registering the maximum capacity limit might not be possible due to hardware limitations.

The table below describes the maximum number of dynamic entries and the maximum number of static entries. Make sure that the total number of dynamic entries and static entries does not exceed the maximum switch entries.
