The Unified Forwarding Table (UFT) is a group of memories that is shared between Layer2 and Layer3 lookup tables with capabilities for variable partitions. Rather than separate Layer2 and Layer3 lookup tables of fixed size, the UFT may be partitioned to support user-requested combinations of Layer2 and Layer3 lookup tables of varying sizes. The new UFT partitioning CLI has capabilities to reconfigure individual forwarding table scales (Layer2, Layer3 Unicast, Layer3 Multicast) according to the user’s input. The CLI provides an interface for granular control of the underlying UFT resources.
