[c-nsp] maximum dCEF routes on GSR engine 2 cards

[John van Oppen]

I only need MPLS two LCs (I am doing some layer 2 Ethernet over MPLS) in
the router, so would it work to disable MPLS globally then just enable
tag-switching on the couple of interfaces I need it on?  (neither are on
the engine 2 cards)

Well, do you use MPLS on this node? I only see a few IGP routes, so not
sure what this router's role is in your MPLS network.
Looks like you're not running any ACLs on the interfaces. You might want
to try enabling "no access-list hardware psa" and reload the LCs, not
sure if it helps (haven't dealt with E2 in a while)..

In any case: Even if you can free up some memory now, with the growing
Internet table I fear you'll run out of resources on these LCs sooner or
later.
