Configuring system parameter settings

Brocade devices have default table sizes for the following parameters. The table sizes determine
the maximum number of entries the tables can hold. You can adjust individual table sizes to
accommodate your configuration needs, for example:

MAC address entries

Layer 3 Protocol VLANs supported on a system

Layer 4 sessions supported

IP cache size

ARP entries

IP routes

IP route filters

IP subnets per port

Static routes

The defaults and valid ranges for these tables are defined by the active license for the Brocade
Virtual ADX. For more information on these values, refer to the Brocade Virtual ADX Licensing
Guide
.

To configure the setting for these parameters, use the system-max command. For example, to
change the capacity of the IP route table to 3000 entries, enter the following commands.

Virtual ADX(config)# system-max ip-route 3000

Virtual ADX(config)# write memory

Virtual ADX(config)# exit

Virtual ADX# reload

NOTE

If you accidentally enter a value that is not within the valid range of values, the CLI will display the
valid range for you.

To increase the number of IP subnet interfaces you can configure on each port to 32, enter the
following commands.

NOTE

You must reload the software for the change to take effect.

Syntax: system-max system_parameter num

The system_parameter varaible specifies the system parameter, as listed in
