Parameter
limit: Limits the capacity of multicast routing table.
Description
Use the multicast route-limit command to limit the capacity of multicast routing table.
When the preset capacity is exceeded, the router will discard new (S, G) protocol and
data packets.
Use the undo multicast route-limit command to restore the limit to the default value.
By default, the capacity of multicast routing table is set to 512.
If the existing route entries exceed the capacity value you configured during using this
command, the system will not delete the existing entries, but prompts the information
“Existing route entries exceed the configured capacity value”.
The new configuration overwrites the old one if you run the command for a second
time.
Example
# Limit multicast routing table capacity at 128.
<Quidway> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
