profile route

Specifies the route mode.

Syntax

profile route default

profile route route-enhance

profile route route-enhance { hw_opt | multi_vrf | v4_fib_comp | v6_fib_comp } { off | on }

Command Default

The default route profile is enabled.

Parameters

default

Specifies support for 1 through 64 routes.

route-enhance

Specifies support for up to 1000 routes.

hw_opt: Enables or disables route enhancement for hardware optimization. Disabled by default.
multi_vrf: Enables OptiScale™ for Internet Routing (route scaling) on a non-default VRF. Disabled by default. For more information about OptiScale, see the "Internet route scaling" topic in the Extreme SLX-OS Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide.
v4_fib_comp: Enables or disables route enhancement for IPv4 FIB compression. Disabled by default.
v6_fib_comp: Enables or disables route enhancement for IPv6 FIB compression. Disabled by default.

{ off | on }

Disables or enables all route-enhance options.

Modes

Hardware configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This feature is supported only on devices based on the DNX chipset family. For a list of such devices, see "Supported Hardware".

The profile route command requires a system reload to activate the profile configuration. Run this command during a maintenance window so that the profile changes are activated without interrupting normal network services.

The multi-vrf parameter is not valid for the SLX 9540, for which OptiScale is supported only on the default VRF. The device supports multi-VRF only when OptiScale is not enabled.

To display the default and current number of routes supported for your device, run the show hardware profile command.

This command does not have a no form. Use the default keyword to revert to system defaults.

Examples

The following example enables the OptiScale feature on a non-default VRF.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)# profile route multi_vrf
     **Warning: To activate the new profile config, please run
     'copy running-config startup-config' followed by reload system'.**
device (config-hardware)# exit
device# copy running-config startup-config 
device# reload system

The following example enables route enhancement with IPv4 FIB compression.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)# profile route route-enhance v4_fib_comp
     **Warning: To activate the new profile config, please run
     'copy running-config startup-config' followed by reload system'.**
device (config-hardware)# exit
device# copy running-config startup-config 
device# reload system
