Configuring support for border profiles

Do the following to configure ETCAM and FIB compression support for border profiles on a SLX 9640.

1. Enter hardware configuration mode.
   

   device# config
   device(config)# hardware
   device(config-hardware)# 

2. Specify a profile option by using the profile etcam command.
   

   device(config-hardware)# profile etcam ipv4-ipv6-route
   

   This example specifies that IPv4 and IPv6 routes are programmed in the external lookup device (ELK).

3. Enable FIB compression by using the profile route route-enhance command, as in the following example for IPv4 and IPv6 routes.
   

   device(config-hardware)# profile route route-enhance v4_fib_comp v6_fib_comp on
   

4. Confirm the configuration by using the show hw route-info command, as in the following example for a linecard.
   

   device# show hw route-info linecard 0
