Hi Bill,
I dont know the answer to your specific question, I've not touched those
values personally, but I was told previously that they are maximum limits that
the router will be allowed to use and that actually increasing them does not
affect the way the router assigns memory on startup.

ie if you increase a parameter massively it wont use more memory, it will just
allow the system to use more resources.. which will then use the memory.

Do a:

show default values

That will list them all out.

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)
