ATTENTION
The hardware-profile command is disruptive. To apply the most recent profile, you must reboot
(reload) the switch.
The following example selects a route table profile to optimize resources for the
maximum number of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery entries:
switch(config)# rbridge-id 10
switch(config-rbridge-id-10)# hardware-profile route-table ipv6-max-nd
NOTE
When you use the hardware-profile route-table ? command to see the
available options, the currently applied option is at the top of the list and is
enclosed by square brackets ([ ]).
The following example selects a TCAM profile to optimize resources for the
maximum number of IPv4/IPv6 multicast entries:
switch(config)# rbridge-id 10
switch(config-rbridge-id-10)# hardware-profile tcam ipv4-ipv6-mcast
NOTE
When you use the hardware-profile tcam ? command to see the available
options, the currently applied option is at the top of the list and is enclosed by
square brackets ([ ]).
Guidelines for changing hardware profiles
Note the following guidelines for changing hardware profiles:
• In fabric cluster and logical chassis cluster mode, you must reload the switch after changing a profile
for the new profile to take effect.
‐ In logical chassis mode, when a secondary switch rejoins the cluster with a default
configuration while the profile configuration for the secondary switch is "nondefault" on the
principle switch, you must reload the secondary switch again after it has rejoined the cluster
for the nondefault profile to take effect.
‐ In fabric cluster mode, you must use the copy running-config startup-config command
first, before reloading the switch.
• If you use Netinstall, the default profiles are automatically set for both TCAM and route tables in the
running configuration. This is also true after the copy running-config startup-config command is
executed.
• There is no "no" option for the hardware-profile command, because hardware profiles always exist,
with either the default or nondefault configurations.
• When you change a hardware profile, the supported scale numbers remain the same with respect to
the configuration even if hardware may not be able to fulfill them. This ensures that the same
protocol and interface information remain valid with all hardware profile settings.
