Setting the Forwarding Database and Policy Database Sizes
The forwarding database provides access to route information such as fast routing look-ups. It will typically have information related to route entries, their associated outgoing interfaces, and autonomous system information. The policy database stores the policies of plug-ins only. Both the forwarding database and the policy database are carved out of object cache. So the sum of both databases must be less than the total object cache.
You control the sizes of the forwarding database and the policy database using the forwarding-db-size and the policy-db-size statements, respectively, at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number pic pic-number adaptive-services service-package extension-provider] hierarchy level. Both statements are configured in megabytes (MB). When setting these sizes, be guided by your provider's application-specific documentation.
 | Note: Changing either the forwarding-db-size or the policy-db-size statement causes the PIC to reboot. |
| Note: You must enable the sampling statement at the [edit forwarding-options] hierarchy level for the forwarding database to be created. |
