[f-nsp] MLX with NI-MLX-10Gx4 - Number of routes and cam-partition profile

[Chris Hellkvist]

Hi,

right now i'm trying ti figure out the maximum number of routes (both
IPv4 and IPv6) a MLX equipped with NI-MLX-10Gx4 cards can carry.

The current config looks like this:
Module                                                      Status
                  Ports    Starting MAC
M1 (left ):NI-MLX-MR Management Module                      Active
M2 (right):NI-MLX-MR Management Module                      Standby(Ready State)
F1: NI-X-SF  Switch Fabric Module                           Active
F2: NI-X-SF  Switch Fabric Module                           Active
F3:
S1: NI-MLX-10Gx4 4-port 10GbE Module
CARD_STATE_UP                4        0012.f293.a400
S2: NI-MLX-10Gx4 4-port 10GbE Module
CARD_STATE_UP                4        0012.f293.a430

Right now it seems like the NI-MLX-MR lead to "MLX mode" for the
device. According to the Brocade documentation there is no really good
cam-partition profile that would enable to use full BGP feeds for both
IPv6 and IPv4. Are i missing something here? I think i've heard that
the  NI-MLX-10Gx4 module could do up to 768k routes, but i may
remember that wrong.

I'd appreciate any hints or suggestions from colleagues using setups like this.

Thanks,
Chris
