Configuring the maximum number of routes

You can use the max-route command to specify the number of routes held in the routing table per VRF instance, for an IPv4 or IPv6 VRF address family.

About this task

If this command is not used, the maximum number of routes is 4294967295. This number does not appear in a running configuration.

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Specify a VRF instance (in this example, "myvrf") and enter VRF configuration mode.
```
device(config)# vrf myvrf
device(config-vrf-myvrf)# 
```
Enter the address-family unicast command, in this example for IPv4, and enter VRF address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode.
```
device(config-vrf-myvrf)# address-family ipv4 unicast
 
```
Enter the max-route command and specify the maximum number of routes to be held in the routing table for this VRF instance, 3600 in this example. (The range is from 1 through 4294967295.)
```
device(vrf-myvrf-ipv4-unicast)# max-route 3600
```
