This section
provides engineering rules or guidelines that must be considered
prior to configuring the system for your network deployment.
Service Engineering
Rules
The following
engineering rules apply to services configured within the system:
- A maximum of 256 services
(regardless of type) can be configured per system.Large numbers of services
greatly increase the complexity of management and may impact overall
system performance (i.e. resulting from such things as system handoffs).
Therefore, it is recommended that a large number of services only
be configured if your application absolutely requires it. Please
contact your local service representative for more information.
- The total number of
entries per table and per chassis is limited to 256.
- Even though service
names can be identical to those configured in different contexts
on the same system, this is not a good practice. Having services
with the same name can lead to confusion, difficulty troubleshooting
problems, and make it difficulty understanding outputs of show commands.
