Unified Forwarding Table Modes
Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) consolidates the resources of several search tables (Layer 2, Layer 3
Hosts, and Layer 3 Route [Longest Prefix Match — LPM]) into a single flexible resource. Trident 2 supports
several UFT modes to extract the forwarding tables, as required. By default, Dell Networking OS initializes
the table sizes to UFT mode 2 profile, since it provides a reasonable shared memory for all the tables. The
other supported UFT modes are scaled-l3–hosts (UFT mode 3) and scaled-l3–routes (UFT mode 4).
Important Points to Remember
• All line cards/Stack Members within a single system must have the same UFT mode profiles. this
profile must match the system UFT mode profile (the profile on the primary route processor module
[RPM]/ Master Unit of the Stack).
• The UFT mode configuration is applied to the entire system when you use the CONFIGURATION
mode commands. Save the running-configuration to affect the change.
• You MUST save your changes and reboot the system for UFT mode profiling to take effect.
