[c-nsp] Cisco N540-ACC-SYS ipv4 routes

[Phil Bedard]

In XR in general we support restricting routes installed in the FIB using table-policy at various locations, but it's done across all NPUs.  This specific feature mixing hi/lo FIB line cards adds another knob to tag certain routes as "external" so we can determine which prefixes to install on cards with only external TCAM.   

The normal table-policy command is supported on NCS540, some use them as dedicated RRs.   There is a 16 (newer N540-ACC-SYS) and 32 GB (24Z8Q2C-SYS) version of the 540.   

Thanks, 

Phil

    Nice.

    There’s caveat at the bottom of that article that says it’s not supported on J-based FFF pizza boxes. I wonder why?  I wonder if that applies to Qumran-AX a’la NCS540 too?
