panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

Changing the Maximum Number of Route-Attribute Entries
The BGP4 route table lists the route attributes associated with each route in the table. These attributes include
the following:
IP address of the next hop router
Metric
Local Preference
Origin
Communities
and others
A collection of these attributes is called a route-attributes entry. Each route-attributes entry is a unique set of
values for these attributes. For example, the following set of attribute values is a route-attributes entry:
Next Hop :192.168.11.1 Metric :0 Origin:IGP
Originator:0.0.0.0 Cluster List:None
Aggregator:AS Number :0 Router-ID:0.0.0.0 Atomic:FALSE
Local Pref:100 Communities:Internet
A route-attribute entry can be used by one or more routes. For example, if the first and second routes listed in the
BGP4 route table use exactly the same set of attribute values, the routes both would use a single route-attributes
entry. If any of the attributes differs for the two routes, each route would use a separate route-attributes entry.
See Displaying BGP4 Route-Attribute Entries on page 19-114 for a description of the route-attribute fields shown
in the example above.
You can change the maximum number of route-attribute entries the router can contain using either of the following
methods.
USING THE CLI
To change the maximum number of route-attribute entries to 2500, enter the following command:
NetIron(config-bgp-router)# max-attribute-entries 2500
NetIron(config-bgp-router)# end
NetIron# reload
Syntax: max-attribute-entries <num>
