not necessarily exist. As a result, displaying current resource usage is the
most reliable method for keeping track of available resources. Also,
because some internal resources are used by multiple features, deleting
a feature configuration may not increase the amount of available
resources.
Resource usage includes resources actually in use or reserved for future
use by the listed features.
“Internal dedicated-purpose resources” include the following features:
Per-port ingress and egress rate limiting through the CLI using
rate-limit in/out
Per-port ingress and egress broadcast rate limiting through the CLI
using rate-limit bcast/mcast
Per-port or per-vlan priority or DSCP through the CLI using qos priority
or qos dscp
Per protocol priority through the CLI using qos protocol
For chassis products (for example, the 5400zl or 8212zl switches), ‘slots’
are listed instead of ‘ports’ with resources shown for all installed modules
on the chassis.
The “Available” columns display the resources available for additional
feature use.
The “IDM” column shows the resources used for RADIUS-based authen-
tication with or without the IDM option.
“Meters” are used when applying either ICMP rate-limiting or a QoS policy
with a rate-limit class action.
