Screen OS

Hi,

We plan to use ssg550M as gateways for backoffice/administration VLAN in our datacenters.

Each VM will have a specific interface attached to one of the backend VLANs.

Thus, we could end with 2000 to 4000 machines using the SSG550M cluster as their gateway to reach admin and backoffice environments.

=> I can't find anywhere specs about the max number of ARP entries that a SSG550M can handle...

Could anyone give me these numbers ?

Hi Pascal,

I checked few of the devices and it seems that limit is 4096.

get arp
usage: 1/4096 miss: 0   <-- One ARp entry out of 4096
always-on-dest: disabled

IP Mac VR/Interface State Age Retry PakQue Sess_cnt

10.X.X.X xxxxxxxxxxxx untrust-vr/eth0/0 VLD 455 0 0 2

fw03-> get arp
usage: 4/4096 miss: 0            <-- 4 ARP entries out of 4096
always-on-dest: disabled

Thanks,

Thanks a lot, shame on me for not even thinking to type this command...

I found another interesting hidden command that lists most system maximum values, in case anyone would need it :

get sys-cfg
