routing item in the hardware cache.
The command can be enabled in global configuration mode. In case the next hop of the route of the indirectly
connected host is same as that of a subnet route, the command will be used to decide whether to delete the
hardware route of a host.
Command Purpose
ip route-cache age-exf
Deletes the indirectly connected hardware route of a host
whose next hop is the same with the hardware subnet
route next hop.
no ip route-cache age-exf
Saves the indirectly connected hardware route of a host
whose next hop is the same with the hardware subnet
route next hop.
To set the delay of the route cache, which is caused by ARP change, run the following command in global
mode:
Command Purpose
ip route-cache age-delay age-delay
When arp changes, delete all hardware route cache in a
delay (related to age-delay).
To set the lifetime of the entries in the software cache, run the following command in global mode:
Command Purpose
ip route-cache softcache-alive-time
milliseconds
Deletes the software route cache after milliseconds.
To set the operation time index of the software cache, run the following command in global mode:
Command Purpose
ip route-cache software-index ticks
The bigger the ticks, the faster the SWITCH can age the
invalid software route cache.
To set the operation time index of the hardware route cache, run the following command in global mode:
