Release Information

Description
Configure a limit for the number of routes installed in a routing table based upon the route path.
 | Note: The maximum-paths statement is similar to the maximum-prefixes statement. The maximum-prefixes statement limits the number of unique destinations in a routing instance. For example, suppose a routing instance has the following routes: OSPF 10.10.10.0/24 ISIS 10.10.10.0/24 These are two routes, but only one destination (prefix). The maximum-paths limit applies the total number of routes (two). The maximum-prefixes limit applies to the total number of unique prefixes (one). |
Options
log-interval seconds—(Optional) Minimum time interval (in seconds) between log messages.
Range: 5 through 86,400
log-only—(Optional) Sets the route limit as an advisory limit. An advisory limit triggers only a warning, and additional routes are not rejected.
path-limit—Maximum number of routes. If this limit is reached, a warning is triggered and additional routes are rejected.
Range: 1 through 4,294,967,295 (232 – 1)
Default: No default
threshold value—(Optional) Percentage of the maximum number of routes that starts triggering a warning. You can configure a percentage of the path-limit value that starts triggering the warnings.
Range: 1 through 100
| Note: When the number of routes reaches the threshold value, routes are still installed into the routing table while warning messages are sent. When the number of routes reaches the path-limit value, then additional routes are rejected. |
