Customizes the internal hardware forwarding tables based on the customer‘s network requirements.
| forwarding | Configure settings for hardware forwarding. |
| internal-tables | Configure settings for internal lookup tables. |
| l2-and-l3 | Program the internal lookup tables for layer-2 MAC FDB (forwarding database) and layer-3 hosts and IP multicast (default). |
| more | Configure the internal lookup tables for additional entries of specified types. |
| l2 | Program the internal lookup tables for additional layer-2 MAC FDB entries. |
| l3-and-ipmc | Program the internal lookup tables for additional layer-3 hosts and IP multicast. |
| routes | Programs the internal lookup tables for additional IPv4 routes and IPv6 routes (mask 0–64) using Algorithmic Longest-Prefix Match (ALPM). This option is only available on the Summit X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X870, X690 series switches or stacks. |
| ipv6-mask-length | Optimizes ALPM route capacity by choosing the maximum number of bits in the IPv6 route subnet mask length. |
| 64 |
Maximizes IPv4 route capacity (default). IPv6 routes mask length:
|
| 128 | Maximizes IPv6 route capacity for mask length 65–128 bits. All routes use ALPM hardware with route sharing. |
For internal tables: l2-and-l3.
For IPv6 mask length: 64.
Use this command to customize the internal hardware forwarding tables based on the customer‘s network requirements.
The Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X870, X690 have hardware forwarding tables internal to the switch chips that can be partitioned in a flexible manner.
To display the current configuration, use the show forwarding configuration command.
By default, the internal tables have L2 and L3 capacity whose relative size is similar to existing products. The default is:
configure forwarding internal-tables l2-and-l3
There are three other choices. You can elect to have more L2 hardware table entries:
configure forwarding internal-tables more l2
Or, you can choose to have more L3 unicast and multicast entries:
configure forwarding internal-tables more l3-and-ipmc
configure forwarding internal-tables more routes
The current and configured values are shown in the output of the show command:
