Deployment Profiles
The BLADEOS software for the RackSwitch G8124 can be configured to operate in different
modes for different deployment scenarios. Each deployment profile sets different capacity levels for
basic switch resources, such as the number of IP routes and ARP entries, in order to optimize the
switch for different types of networks.
This chapter covers the following topics

Available Profiles
The following deployment profiles are currently available on the G8124:
Default Profile—This profile is recommended for general network usage. Switch resources are
balanced to provide moderate capacity for IP routes, ARP entries, ACLs, and VMAPs.
Routing Profile—This is a special deployment profile. It is recommended when additional IP
routes are required on the switch. In order to provide the additional IP routes, the number of
ARP entries is reduced, and the ACL and VMAP features are unsupported.
