entries refers to the space available for the IP address
table. When you increase the number of entries, it may
cause the table to be relearned more frequently.
Consequently, it will make address space usage more
efficient. The default maximum number of entries is
16384.
Route Preference
by Protocol This section describes the routing preferences set up
according to the network administrator’s preferences.
These preferences are normally set up using the most to
least trust. For example, local routes are normally
considered to have more trust or a higher preference, while
OSPF external routes are considered to have less trust or a
lower preference. These preferences can be overridden,
but careful consideration must be given when setting each.
Note:
Local Routes must always have the higher
preference.
Note:
Do not change the
Prerferences unless you are certain of the
consequences. Incorrect Preference settings can
cause the switch to stop all routing.
