[j-nsp] Juniper M20 SSB-E issue

[Eeden, Reinier]

Hi all,

 

I have a lot of hold entries in my forwarding table,  how can I get rid of
them or prevent them to be added in my forwarding-table?

Because this is eating my jtree memory on the SSB of the router and I need
to reload my SSB each 4 weeks.

62.41.27.249/32    dest     0 62.41.27.249       hold   816     1 ae0.29

62.41.27.252/32    dest     0 62.41.27.252       hold   883     1 ae0.29

62.41.27.253/32    dest     0 62.41.27.253       hold   699     1 ae0.29

 

For example we have configured 62.41.27.0/24 on interface ae0.29; The hosts
62.41.27.1-167 are up and 62.41.27.168-253 are down 

so the router doesn't know where  to deliver these packets because the
destination address is down. So it creates a next-hop hold entry in our
forwarding table.

 

Looking forward for your replies.
