BI-RX-MR2 scaling to 2 million routes

Hi all-

Brocade's documentation says the RX MR2 management can scale up to 2 million routes, but the system-max ip-route setting has a maximum value of 524288. Anyone know how to tweak that value? Checking Brocade's documentation hasn't been fruitful so far, and neither has Uncle Google.

As always, thanks for any and all help.

This is RIB vs. FIB. RX can handle 2M routes received via BGP (sum of all
peers), but only 512k effective routes in FIB.
