[f-nsp] BI8K system-max settings

[bill hulley]

Hi,

I've been trying to get some useful documentation about the various system-max
system defaults settings out of Foundry (via our reseller) and have
not been getting
much luck.   Maybe someone here on the list might know.

We have a BI8000 (JetCore) in production running 07.6.05aT53 and a couple of
FastIron 400s (JetCore) in our lab running the same software.   I've been using 
the FastIrons to do some memory sizing of the system-max parameters in 
preparation of a reload of our production switch.

Most of the system-max parameters are pretty obvious (numbers of vlans, routes
etc),   others have documentation, for example ip-filter-sys
session-limit etc.  But I
haven't been able to find anything about the ip-filter-port parameter.

Does anyone have any information they've received from Foundry about this
parameter,  what its used for and why it appears to have such a large impact on 
system memory usage.

Any replies appreciated (including complaints about the quality of
Foundry documentation)
