show iproute reserved-entries statistics

show iproute reserved-entries statistics {slot slot_num}

Description

Displays the current usage statistics of the Longest Prefix Match (LPM) hardware table and the Layer 3 hardware hash table by resource type.

Syntax Description

slot_num For BlackDiamond 8800 series switches and SummitStack only, this option displays the statistics for the specified slot.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

This command shows the current number of IP routes and local and remote IPv4 hosts in the LPM hardware table. It also shows the number of IPv4 unicast, multicast, and IPv6 unicast entries in the Layer 3 hardware hash table. The theoretical maximums for each individual resource type are shown at the bottom of the output. These maximum values cannot all be achieved simultaneously, and individual values might not be reached depending on the addresses or routes in use.

The ExtremeXOS software supports the coexistence of higher- and lower-capacity hardware in the same BlackDiamond 8800 chassis or Summit family switch stack or BlackDiamond X8. To allow for coexistence and increased hardware forwarding, when the number of IPv4 routes exceeds 25,000, the lower-capacity hardware automatically transitions from using LPM routing to forwarding of individual remote hosts, also known as IP Forwarding Database (IP FDB) mode. Higher-capacity hardware continues using LPM routing. Lower-capacity hardware operating in IP FDB mode will be indicated with a d flag in the output of show iproute reserved-entries statistics command, indicating that only direct routes are installed. For more information, see Coexistence of Higher- and Lower-Capacity Hardware in the ExtremeXOS 16.2 User Guide.

Example

The following example displays usage statistics for the LPM and Layer 3 hardware tables:

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.1.

Support for additional IPv4 local host entries was added with the distributed IP ARP feature for BlackDiamond X8, and BlackDiamond 8000 c- and xl-series modules in ExtremeXOS 12.5.

Platform Availability

This command is available on BlackDiamond X8, BlackDiamond 8000 series modules, SummitStack, and Summit X440, X460, X480, X670, and X770 switch families.
