Hi
Now, I am checking my Catalyst configuration, in paticular, the meaning of the following sentence is vague even reffering the following explanation.
mls ip slb purge global
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/ios/ipapp/command/reference/iap_l1.html#wp1086002
Would somebody please explain what the above mean?
Is it related to Netflow or Server load balance?
The explanation on CCO is too simple to understand...

Hello Yjamada,
the command is clearly related to IOS SLB server load balancing.
To understand what purging of TCP and UDP flows of IOS SLB means it is wise to look at the configuration guide.
MLS entries are valuable because provide efficient forwarding paths and they are limited in number.
IOS SLB potentially leads to the use of an high number of entries because it has to distinguish between different TCP and UDP ports.
So some strategy on how to free MLS entries is needed.
Hope to help
