Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing

Configuring IPv6

Note An IPv4 route requires only one hardware entry. Because of the hardware compression scheme used for IPv6, an IPv6 route can take more than one hardware entry, reducing the number of entries forwarded in hardware. For example, for IPv6 directly connected IP addresses, the desktop template might allow less than two thousand entries.

Table 39-1defines the approximate feature resources allocated by each new template. Template estimations are based on a switch with eight routed interfaces and approximately one thousand VLANs.
