3.5.1 Number of filter entries on the receiving side

The following table describes the maximum number of filter entries on the receiving side that can be set for each switch for each receiving-side flow detection mode.

Legend:-Not applicable n: Number of member switches

Note #1

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 entries for the receiving side filter-Number of 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 entries for the receiving side filter-Number of entries

Note #2

In a stack configuration, the capacity limits increase according to the number of member switches. However, the capacity limits of the VLAN interface remains the same.

In standalone mode, n is 1.

Note #3

The maximum number of entries for the receiving filter is from 0 entries when the function is not specified for the entry block to the maximum number of entries when the same flow detection condition (MAC condition, IPv4 condition, or IPv6 condition) is specified for all the entry blocks.
