Device Tuning is used to determine the maximum amount of entries allowed in the various tables listed. The changes are implemented only after reset.
The Device Tuning window parameters are organized into the following columns:
Current Value — The current maximum number of entries.
After Reset — The future (after reset) maximum number of entries. By entering a value in the After Reset column, memory is allocated to the field table.
The Device Tuning window consists of the following tabs:
General — Defines the maximum number of entries for the Bridge Forwarding table, RMON Log table, and the Error Report table.
IP — Defines the maximum number of entries for RIPs, ARP Forwarding table, FFT table, DHCP connections, and the FFT upper and lower limits.
IPX — Defines the maximum number of entries for RIP, SAP, and FFT upper and lower limits.
IPM — Defines the maximum number of entries for FFT, PIM, and IGMP entries both before and after the device is reset.
The Device Tuning – General Tab window displays the following parameters:
Bridge Forwarding Table — Maximum number of entries (MAC addresses) possible for this table.
RMON Log Table — The number of log entries the device keeps in the table before overwriting the first entry. It is kept until the device is reset.
Max GVRP VLANS — Indicates the maximum number of VLANs that can currently participate in GVRP.
Note: If the maximum number of VLANs is decreased, the number should still be greater than the number of MAX GVRP VLANs.
Max Policy Simple MIB Max Rules Entries — Indicates the maximum number of policy entries.
Max Policy Simple MIB Max Profile Entries — Indicates the maximum number of profile entries.
Max VLAN Entries — Indicates the maximum number of VLANs entries.
Error Report Level — (0 to 255) Determines the amount of errors sent to the terminal. 0 sends the least amount of errors and 255 sends the most.
Note: Each Table can have 20 to 32K entries.
The Device Tuning – IP Tab window displays the following parameters:
IP RIP Table — Maximum number of routing table entries allowed for this table.
ARP Forwarding table — Maximum number of entries allowed for this table.
Max IP FFT Entries — Maximum number of IP Fast Forwarding table entries allowed.
Max IP System FFT Entries — Maximum number of IP entries that can be entered into the system.
IP FFT Upper Limit (percents) — Maximum percentage of entries that the device can hold in FFT without overflowing.
IP FFT Lower Limit (percents) — Minimum percentage of entries in which the device would stop the overflowing process.
Note: Each Table can have 20 to 32K entries.
The Device Tuning – IPX Tab window displays the following parameters:
IPX RIP table — Maximum number of routing table entries allowed for this table.
IPX SAP table — Maximum number of server entries allowed.
Max IPX FFT Entries — Maximum number of IPX Fast Forwarding table entries allowed.
Max IPX System FFT Entries — Maximum number of IPX entries that can be entered into the system.
IPX FFT Upper Limit (percents) — Maximum percentage of entries the device can hold in FFT whiteout flowing.
IPX FFT Lower Limit (percents) — Minimum percentage in which the device would stop the overflowing process.
Note: Each Table can have 20 to 32K entries.
The Device Tuning – IPM Tab window displays the following parameters:
Max IPM FFT Entries — Specifies the maximum entries permitted both currently and after the device is reset.
Max PIM Neighbor Entries — Specifies the maximum number of PIM Neighbor entries permitted both currently and after the device is reset.
Max PIM Route Entries — Specifies the maximum number of PIM Route entries permitted both currently and after the device is reset.
Max PIM Interface Entries — Maximum number of PIM Interface entries permitted both currently and after the device is reset.
Max IGMP Cache Entries — Maximum number of IGMP Cache entries permitted both currently and after the device is reset.
