Base Configuration - Avaya 8600 Technical Configuration Manual

2.2.2 Base Configuration

2.2.2.1 Enabling R-mode
Since this design requires the use of R or RS I/O modules, the R-mode system flag is activated so that
the full functionality and scalability of R/RS modules is made available to the system. A switch reboot is
required after activating R-mode.
All Sites
CLI
ERS-8610:5# config sys set flags r-mode true
ERS-8610:5# save config
ERS-8610:5# reset -y
ACLI
ERS-8610:5> enable
ERS-8610:5# config terminal
ERS-8610:5(config)# sys flags r-mode
ERS-8610:5(config)# exit
ERS-8610:5# save config
ERS-8610:5# reset -y
With R-mode the following extra features become available:
 Feedback Output Queuing (FOQ): Advanced QOS Congestion Management which
can randomly drop packets at ingress if the intended egress buffer is congested

 Support for up to 128 MLT/LACP groups (instead of 32)
 Support for 250000 IP routes in hardware
 Support for up to 8 Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) routes (instead of 4)
 Enhanced MLT hashing which uses all IPv4/IPv6/MAC address bits to compute hash
