forwarding-profile{profile1|profile2|profile3}

no forwarding-profile{profile1|profile2|profile3|profile4}

no forwarding-profile{profile1|profile2|profile3}

Command Default

The default forwarding profile is profile1.

Parameters

profile1: Specifies the default forwarding profile.
profile2: Specifies the non-default forwarding profile, profile2.
profile3: Specifies the non-default forwarding profile, profile3.
profile4: Specifies the non-default forwarding profile, profile4.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported for ICX 7850 and ICX 7550 devices.

The profile4 keyword is not supported for ICX 7550 devices.

This command can be used only during the initialization process. The selected forwarding profile is available after a reload. After using the forwarding-profile command, you must use the write-memory and reload commands to place the change into effect.

When the forwarding profile is changed using this command, the maximum system parameters for IPv4 routes, IPv6 routes, IGMP groups, MLD groups, PIM mcache, and PIMv6 mcache take the value from the configured profile. The IP route default VRF, IP route VRF, IPv6 route VRF, and IPv6 default VRF are reset.

When profile3 is used for ICX 7850 devices, it is recommended to configure the maximum number of IPv6 neighbors to 65536. Refer to the system-max ip6-neighbor command for more information.

When profile3 is used for ICX 7850 devices, PIMv4 and PIMv6 can simultaneously scale to 8192 mcache entries each.

For ICX 7550 devices for switch images, only profile2 is supported.

The no form of the command restores the default forwarding profile, profile1.

Examples

The following example configures the predefined forwarding profile “profile2” for an ICX 7850 device.

ICX7850# configure terminal
ICX7850(config)# forwarding-profile profile2

Perform a write mem and reload for profile2 profile to take effect

The following example configures the default forwarding profile “profile1” for an ICX 7850 device if another forwarding profile has already been configured.

ICX7850# configure terminal
device(config)# forwarding-profile profile1

Perform a write mem and reload for profile1 profile to take effect

The following example configures the predefined forwarding profile “profile3” for an ICX 7550 device.

ICX7550# configure terminal
ICX7550(config)# forwarding-profile profile3
Perform a write mem and reload for profile3 profile to take effect
The profile supports the following values
