  • 1.  How to use maximum RIB/FIB sizein SRX340/345?

    Posted 05-11-2017 22:22

    I want to know two things.

     

    1. How to confirm current size of RIB/FIB.
    2. How to enhance these size to max. (SRX340/345)


    According to datasheet (*), It is described as follows.

    =====
    Route scaling numbers are with enhanced route-scale features turned on
    =====

    (*)
    https://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000550-en.pdf


    I searched for the setting method for SRX, but I found only the one for the router as below.

    [[Configuring the Junos OS to Allocate More Memory for Routing Tables, Firewall Filters, and Layer 3 VPN Labels]]
    http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/task/configuration/junos-software-jtree-memory-repartitioning.html

    I searched for the command by referring to the above, but it seems that it can not be set with this method with SRX.

     

    Best Regards,

    I asked about this to the Japan Pre-sales team and received a response from them.

     

    =========================================================================
                      <RIB/FIB> <RIB/FIB>
    the feature: Disable -> Enable
    SRX340: 600K / 400K --> 1M / 600K
    SRX345: 600K / 400K --> 1M / 600K


    <Inportant>

    If the feature will be change to turn on or to turn off, The device is needed to reboot.

     

    If licenses (UTM/IDP) are already installed, this feature can not be turn on (can not commit).

     

    After turned on this feature (after commit), these licenses can be installed.
    However, UTM/IDP features will not be active.
    This is because enhanced-routing-mode feature uses the free memory area by stopping the UTM / IDP daemon.

     

      *This is not documented about UTM/IDP.
        also nothing in datasheet.
        I already feedbacked to doc team.


    No method to confirm current size of RIB or FIB and possible to confirm the feature is active or not active only.

     

    <how to enable this feature>

     

    =====
    [edit security]
    flow {
    enhanced-routing-mode;
    }
    =====

     

      *this method is not documented.
        japan pre-sales team already asked to create a document about this method to doc team.

     

    <confirm the feature status>

     

    =====
    <root@srx345> show security flow status
    Flow forwarding mode:
    Inet forwarding mode: flow based
    Inet6 forwarding mode: drop
    MPLS forwarding mode: drop
