Hello Hsin,

everything looks like fine MPLS uses only 635 KB of memory so there shouldn't be any problem of lack of resources.

Hope to help

Thanks .

The 3750ME uses many Route Tag funtions Between OSPF and BGP , so i want to know how many imitation or capability can use in route handsle on 3750ME ?

[Giuseppe Larosa]

Hello Hsin,

route tags are placed in the ad hoc fields of OSPF data structures for external LSAs in the same way there is a route tag for a BGP prefix.

This kind of information has no impact on MPLS because it uses CEF to find the Forwarding Equivalence Classes:

MPLS is interested on the path to use to reach a destination (an IP prefix).

About functionalities you should be able to use route tags for the usual applications:

to manage mutual redistribution on multiple nodes

to decide what to redistribute on another node at another ASBR node.

Are you experiencing any issue with route tags on the C3750 ME ?

Hope to help

Hello

I find the 3750-ME data sheet.

Forwarding rate: 8.55 mpps

Configurable up to 11,000 unicast routes.

if i have 1000 prefixs on BGP and using route tag to redistribute into OPSF .

it will be using how many resource ?

[Giuseppe Larosa]

Hello Hsin,

the most important resource to look at are the TCAM tables that makes the multilayer switch efficient in forwarding.

Regardless of the use of route tags 1000 routes consume 1000 entries in TCAM tables so you should be fine.

Hope to help
