switch running a routing protocol.
7.1 Route Capacity Configuration Overview
7.1.1 Introduction
In practical networking applications, there are a large number of routes, especially
OSPF routes and BGP routes, in the routing table. Normally, routing information is
stored in the memory of the switch. While the size of the routing table increases, the
total memory of the switch remains unchanged unless the hardware is upgraded.
However, upgrading may not always solve the problem.
To solve this problem, the switches provide a mechanism to control the size of the
routing table; that is, monitoring the free memory in the system to determine whether
to add new routes to the routing table and whether to keep the connection of a routing
protocol.
Caution:
Normally, the default configuration of the system can meet the requirements. To avoid
decreasing system stability and availability due to improper configuration, it is not
recommended to modify the configuration.
