profile route

Specifies the hardware route profile and maximum load-sharing path.

Syntax

profile route default
profile route {max-l2 max-macs } {max-l3-host max-hosts } {max-route max-routes }
profile route route-enhance { hw_opt | multi_vrf | v4_fib_comp | v6_fib_comp } { off | on }
profile route maximum-paths{ 8 | 16| 32 | 64 }
profile routeenable iv6-max-prefix-64 urpf
no profile routeenable iv6-max-prefix-64 urpf

Command Default

The default route profile is enabled.

Parameters

default
(Not supported on SLX 9640) Specifies the default route profile, which supports 1 through 64 routes.
max-l2 max-macs
Specifies the maximum number of Layer 2 MAC addresses in the profile.
max-l3-host max-hosts
Specifies the maximum number of IPv4 or IPv6 Layer 3 hosts in the profile.
max-route max-routes
Specifies the maximum number of IPv4 or IPv6 routes in the profile.
route-enhance
(Not supported on SLX 9640) Specifies various route enhancement, which supports up to 1000 routes.
hw_opt
Specifies route enhancement for hardware optimization. Disabled by default.
multi_vrf
Specifies route enhancement for multiple VRF support (route scaling) on a non-default VRF.
v4_fib_comp
Specifies route enhancement for IPv4 FIB compression.
v6_fib_comp
Specifies route enhancement for IPv6 FIB compression.
{ off | on }
(Not supported on SLX 9640) Disables or enables the specified route-enhance options. By default, all options are disabled.
maximum-paths{ 8 | 16| 32 | 64
Specifies the maximum number of load-sharing paths.
enable
Enables one or both of the following route forwarding features.
iv6-max-prefix-64
Limits the length of IPv6 route prefixes to 64-bits.
urpf
Enables unicast Reverse Path Forwarding.

Modes

Hardware configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

For the new settings to take effect, you need to run the copy running-config startup-config to reload the device. Run this command during a maintenance window so that the profile changes are activated without interrupting normal network services.

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

Use the profile route default form of the command to restore the default setting.

Use the no profile route enable form of the command to disable the route forwarding features.

Examples

The following example enables route enhancement with IPv4 FIB compression and 64 maximum paths.

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

device(config-hardware)# profile route maximum-paths 64
**Warning: To activate the new profile config, run 
'copy running-config startup-config' followed by 'reload system'.
**Warning: User should remove unsupported configurations.
