The 8608GTE module supports up to 32 000 table entries in its forwarding engine. For information about table entry characteristics, see Network Design Guidelines (313197-E).

The 8608GTM module is an M module and supports up to 128 000 table entries in its forwarding engine, allowing for large Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations, including Internet routing tables. For information about table entry characteristics, see Network Design Guidelines (313197-E).

The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 system has three hardware operating modes:

•Default mode (32 000 table entries) supports up to 32 000 hardware records. This mode supports all modules.

•M mode (128 000 table entries) supports up to 128 000 hardware records. This mode supports M modules only.

•R mode supports up to:

—256 000 IP routes

—64 000 MAC entries

—32 000 ARP entries

This mode supports R modules only.

The 8608GTE module does not support R or M mode. The 8608GTM module supports R and M mode. For specific R and M mode configuration requirements, see "R mode configuration requirements" (page 24) and "M mode configuration requirements" (page 23).
