Policy Feature Cards Supported with Supervisor Engine 2T

• Policy Feature Card 4 Guidelines and Restrictions
• Policy Feature Card 4XL
• Policy Feature Card 4

Policy Feature Card 4 Guidelines and Restrictions

• The PFC4 supports a theoretical maximum of 131,072 (128K) MAC addresses with 118,000 (115.2K) MAC addresses as the recommended maximum.
• The PFC4 partitions the hardware FIB table to route IPv4 unicast, IPv4 multicast, MPLS, and IPv6 unicast and multicast traffic in hardware. Traffic for routes that do not have entries in the hardware FIB table are processed by the route processor in software.

The defaults for XL mode are:

– IPv4 unicast and MPLS: 512,000 routes

– IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: 256,000 routes

The defaults for Non-XL mode are:

– IPv4 unicast and MPLS: 192,000 routes

– IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: 32,000 routes

Note The size of the global internet routing table plus any local routes might exceed the non-XL mode default partition sizes.

These are the theoretical maximum numbers of routes for the supported protocols (the maximums are not supported simultaneously):

– XL mode :

• IPv4 and MPLS: Up to 1,007,000 routes

• IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: Up to 503,000 routes

– Non-XL mode :

• IPv4 and MPLS: Up to 239,000 routes

• IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast: Up to 119,000 routes

Enter the platform cef maximum-routes command to repartition the hardware FIB table. IPv4 unicast and MPLS require one hardware FIB table entry per route. IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast and multicast require two hardware FIB table entries per route. Changing the partition for one protocol makes corresponding changes in the partitions of the other protocols. You must enter the reload command to put configuration changes made with the platform cef maximum-routes command into effect.

Note With a non-XL-mode system, if your requirements cannot be met by repartitioning the hardware FIB table, upgrade components as necessary to operate in XL mode.

• You cannot use one type of PFC on one supervisor engine and a different type on the other supervisor engine for redundancy. You must use identical policy feature cards for redundancy.
• PFC4—These restrictions apply to a configuration with a PFC4 and these DFCs:

– PFC4 and DFC4—No restrictions (PFC4 mode).

– PFC4 and DFC4XL—The PFC4 restricts DFC4XL functionality: the DFC4XL functions as a DFC4 (PFC4 mode).

• PFC4XL—These restrictions apply to a configuration with a PFC4XL and these DFCs:

– PFC4XL and DFC4—PFC4XL functionality is restricted by the DFC4: after a reload with a DFC4-equipped module installed, the PFC4XL functions as a PFC4 (PFC4 mode).

– PFC4XL and DFC4XL—No restrictions (PFC4XL mode).

• Switching modules that you install after bootup that are equipped with a DFC that imposes a more restricted PFC mode than the current PFC mode remain powered down.
• You must reboot to use a switching module equipped with a DFC that imposes a more restricted PFC mode than the current PFC mode.
• Enter the show platform hardware pfc mode command to display the PFC mode.
• FIB TCAM exception may be thrown in case of a route churn where TCAM utilization is more than 80% of the total utilization. This limitation is applicable to DFC TCAM on -XL line cards. If FIB TCAM exception is thrown for a transit route for IPv4 or IPv6 or MPLS traffic, the route does not get installed in FIB and connectivity gets affected. This can result in elevated CPU usage due to software switching.

X2 Modules

Note ● WS-X6716-10G and WS-X6708-10GE do not support X2 modules that are labeled with a number that ends with -01. (This restriction does not apply to X2-10GB-LRM.)

• All X2 modules shipped since WS-X6716-10G became available provide EMI compliance with WS-X6816-10G and WS-X6716-10G.
• Some X2 modules shipped before WS-X6716-10G became available might not provide EMI compliance with WS-X6816-10G and WS-X6716-10G. See the information listed for each type of X2 module in the following table.
• For information about X2 modules, see the Cisco 10GBASE X2 Modules data sheet:
