Te 512k limit refers to FIB in the B/C (base) versions of 6500/7600 Supervisors and DFCs (for line cards). BXL/CXL versions have FIB for 1M IPv4 prefixes. You can find more information here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/117712-problemsolution-cat6500-00.html And yes, you’re right - no matter how many neighbors you have, the FIB will only contain best paths, so it will be closer to 500k entries in total rather than N times number of neighbours. -- "There's no sense in being precise when | Łukasz Bromirski you don't know what you're talking | jid:lbromir...@jabber.org about."
