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 8648TXE module does not support R or M mode. The 8648TXM
module supports R and M mode. For specific R and M mode configuration
