Relationship between VLANs, AFT and Hash
Table Sizes
Hash Tables and
Buckets
For every VLAN created, a hash table is allocated. The hash table keeps
track of the memory locations where the learned AFT entries (MAC
addresses) are stored. These memory locations are referred to as buckets.
An individual bucket can range in size from 1 to 128 AFT entries (MAC
addresses) in powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on). The bucket capacity for
a VLAN is the sum of all the capacities of the buckets assigned to that
VLAN. If you add the number of AFT entries and divide by the Bucket
Capacity, you will get the percentage of Bucket Utilization (
To view the Bucket parameters from the Web Agent, expand the Layer 2
Switching > Address Forwarding Table > Configuration folders. And
view the Bucket Capacity and Bucket Utilization fields.
Hash Table and
Bucket memory
usage guidelines
The Avaya Multiservice switch provides 60K of memory that is used to
store hash tables and AFT buckets. In general, no more then 20K should be
used for Hash Tables, leaving 40K available for AFT entries (MAC
addresses). It is important to take into consideration the number of VLANs
that the switch will have when determining the hash table size for each
