num-65-127-prefix

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

For the Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) feature, specify how much forwarding table memory to allocate for IPv6 entries with prefix lengths in the range of /65 through /127. The ability to allocate flexibly the memory for IPv6 entries with prefixes in this range extends the use of this memory space to accommodate the appropriate mix of longest-prefix match (LPM) entries that best suits your network. The LPM table stores IPv4 unicast prefixes, IPv6 prefixes with lengths equal to or less than 64, and IPv6 prefixes with lengths from 65 through 127. With this option, you can increase, decrease, or allocate no memory for IPv6 prefixes with lengths from 65 through 127, depending on which version of Junos OS you are using.

Note:

This statement is supported only for the following forwarding table memory profiles: l2-profile-one, l2-profile-three, l2-profile-two, and l3-profile. Do not use this statement with the custom-profile or the lpm-profile statements.

Note:

The values you can configure are different depending on the version of Junos OS you are using.

Options

number

Specify a numerical value.

  • Range: (Junos OS Release 13.2x51-D10 only) 1 through 128. Each increment represents 16 IPv6 prefixes with lengths in the range of /65 through /127, for a total maximum of 2,058 prefixes (16 x 128 = 2,048).

  • Default: 1 (16 IPv6 prefixes with lengths in the range of /65 through /127).

  • Range: (Junos OS Release 13.2X51-D15 or later) 0 through 4. Each increment allocates memory for 1,000 IPv6 prefixes with lengths in the range of /65 through /127, for a maximum of 4,000 such IPv6 prefixes.

  • Default: 1 (1,000 IPv6 prefixes with lengths in the range of /65 through /127).
