Usage
Information
This features allows you to limit the number of multicast entries on the system.
This number is the sum total of all the multicast entries on all stack-units in the
system. For each stack-unit, the multicast module only installs the maximum
possible number of entries, depending on the configured CAM profile.
Use the IN-L3-McastFib CAM partition to store multicast routes. It is a separate
hardware limit that exists per port-pipe. Any software-configured limit might be
superseded by this hardware space limitation. The opposite is also true, the CAM
partition might not be exhausted at the time the system-wide route limit set by the
ip multicast-limit command is reached.
