14.1.8 Configuring a resource allocation pattern for routing table

You can change the resource allocation pattern for routing tables according to the Switch environment. The distribution pattern is specified in the parameter l3switch-1,l3switch-2,l3switch-3, or l3switch-4 of the configuration command swrt_table_resource. You can configure the distribution pattern of entries in IPv4 mode for l3switch-1, in IPv4/IPv6 mode for l3switch-2, in IPv6 unicast preferred mode for l3switch-3, and in L2 preferred mode for l3switch-4.

For details about the number of entries in the routing table, see Table 3-1: Maximum number of device entries.

It is initially l3switch-1 and has a IPv4 allocation pattern that allocates resources for routing IPv4. Change this setting if you are also using IPv6 routing.

You can check information about the resource allocation pattern and number of table entries by using the show system operation command.

Points to note

Because you must restart the Switch for any changes to take effect, we recommend that you perform this setting at initial deployment.

Command examples

1. (config)# swrt_table_resource l3switch-2

   In configuration mode, sets l3switch-2 as the table entries allocation pattern.

2. (config)# save

   (config)# exit

   Saves the settings and switches from configuration mode to administrator mode.

3. # reload

   Restarts the Switch.
