Hi Chris,
<br>
<br>
The NI-MLX series now known by the suffix "-M" have a maximum of 512k
<br>
IPv4 routes if you set them to use the "cam-partition profile ipv4", but
<br>
then you do not have any IPv6 or VRF support at all. Besides the
<br>
NI-MLX-MR management modules, your 10GbE modules in slot 1 and 2 are MLX
<br>
series too. So you will never fit a full BGP feed into this device.
<br>
<br>
You are probably confused with NI-XMR series modules now known by the
<br>
suffix "-X", if you use the "cam-partition profile ipv4-ipv6-2" there
<br>
would be support for 768k IPv4 routes whilst retaining 64k IPv6 routes -
<br>
though you still lose VRF support. These blades would be using the
<br>
NI-XMR-10Gx4 SKU if they were built in the Foundry era, and the
<br>
BR-MLX-10Gx4-X SKU if they are from the Brocade era.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
Martijn Schmidt
