in prior releases, the limit was 1024.
Layer 2 Enhancements
The Cisco CSG will dynamically use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for the IP address of a directly attached client if the MAC address is
unknown. This removes the need for configuring a placeholder route for the client.
SERVICE MANAGER SUPPORT
With Cisco CSG Release 7, Cisco also announces the availability of Cisco CSG Service Manager Release 4.1. The Cisco CSG Service Manager
is part of the Mobile Wireless Center for the Cisco Mobile Exchange suite of applications, which complements the CiscoWorks LAN Management
Solution (LMS) and Cisco Mobile Wireless Fault Mediator to provide end-to-end management of Cisco Mobile Exchange (Figure 2). The Mobile
Wireless Center for Cisco Mobile Exchange addresses the element-management requirements of mobile operators and provides fault management,
configuration management and troubleshooting.

through the different configuration and troubleshooting tasks in a familiar environment.
