Specifying an operating mode for an LPU

LPUs supported by HP 10500 switches include EA, EB, SC, SE, and SF cards. The type of an LPU is
identified by the last two characters of its model name. For example, LSU1GP48EA is an EA card.
Different types of LPUs support different operating modes, as shown in
provide different sizes of MAC address tables, FIB tables, ARP tables, IP multicast tables and ACL tables,
as shown in

In standalone mode:
fabric load-sharing mode { destination-ip
{ source-ip } | destination-mac { source-mac } |
flexible | ingress-port | source-ip { destination-ip }
| source-mac { destination-mac } slot slot-number }

In IRF mode:
fabric load-sharing mode { destination-ip
{ source-ip } | destination-mac { source-mac } |
flexible | ingress-port | source-ip { destination-ip }

Feature highlights
Uses the default MAC address
table and routing table.
Increases the MAC address
table size.
Increases the routing table
size.
Increases both the MAC
address table size and routing
table size.
Automatically optimizes
resource sharing for ND and
ARP entries, so the LPU has the
optimal forwarding
performance in an IPv4/IPv6
dual-stack environment.
Recommended
application scenario
Common networks.
A large MAC address
table is required.
A large routing table is
required.
Both a large MAC address
table and a large routing
table are required.
The IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack is
used.

Remarks
N/A
By default, traffic load
sharing is performed
per ingress port.
