Hi,

Just a quick question what will happen if you exceed the maximum routes
That the FIB TCAM can store.

c7600#sh mls cef maximum-routes FIB TCAM maximum routes :
=======================
Current :-
-------
 IPv4 + MPLS         - 512k (default)
 IPv6 + IP Multicast - 256k (default)


c7600#


Will switch completely to software routing, or just switch the
Excess routes to software routing? Or will it drop routes or worst
Still crash!?
it will switch to partial h/w, partial s/w.
a wildcard will be installed that matches on anything that doesn't fit into the table (i.e. it'll be a punt-to-software for "0/0").

Also is there a best practice on changing the default maximum routes
Allocations?
default is 50/50 split between IPv4/MPLS / IPv6/Multicast. its perhaps difficult to crystal-ball uptake of IPv6 over the next 2 years, but its probably fair to say the current defaults are ok.


cheers,

lincoln.
