Configuring support for border profiles

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

Procedure

  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
