I need to run vlan bridging on a 6500 sup2 for 3 weeks. I'm following the documentation here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk621/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a7af6.shtml#sample2
"show bridge" tells me, among other things, "Total of 300 station blocks, 298 free" (just doing a test vlan right now). Which means I have a bridge table of 300 entries, and when I run out, more RAM will be allocated for another 300. Question is, how much RAM and how do I keep track? I have 1000 entries in the ARP table (95% will be on a bridge at one point or another), and roughly 55MB on the router. Am I in store for a bad day? Some output below. TIA! -porkchop ch-dist1#show mem sum Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b) Processor 41958F40 90861760 14501092 76360668 75738784 76283940 I/O 7000000 16777216 3235812 13541404 13488104 13541212 ch-dist1#show mem alloc | incl bridge 419C77A0 140 419C7744 419C7858 1 Tbridge Monitor 40268350 Watched Queue 424612F8 92 42461298 42461380 1 Tbridge Monitor 402680B0 Event Threads 4256D81C 536 4256D7C0 4256DA60 1 Tbridge Monitor 4027B738 Process 4256E644 108 4256E4E0 4256E6DC 1 Tbridge Monitor 40268350 Watched Queue 4256E6DC 108 4256E644 4256E774 1 Tbridge Monitor 40268350 Watched Queue 4256E774 52 4256E6DC 4256E7D4 1 Tbridge Monitor 402680B0 Event Threads 4256E7D4 52 4256E774 4256E834 1 Tbridge Monitor 402680B0 Event Threads 42572CFC 24 42572CA4 42572D40 1 *Dead* 408E40C4 bridge group name 4257C410 108 4257C3B4 4257C4A8 1 Tbridge Monitor 4027FF90 Process Signals 4261CC7C 140 4261CC20 4261CD34 1 Tbridge Monitor 40268668 Process Events 4261D980 28 4261D920 4261D9C8 1 *Dead* 408E40C4 bridge group name 42666F2C 6000 42666E38 426686C8 1 Tbridge Monitor 4028052C Process Stack 426C8E10 22976 426C5F60 426CE7FC 1 *Dead* 408D6CA8 tbridgetype 427347AC 22976 427318A0 4273A198 1 *Dead* 408D6CA8 tbridgetype ch-dist1# -- Michael "Porkchop" Kaegler, Sr. Network Analyst (845) 575-3061 Marist College, Poughkeepsie, NY _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
