Default CEF for PFC2/PFC3A Configuration
PFC2 supports a maximum of 16 unique Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) group numbers. You
can use the same HSRP group numbers in different VLANs. If you configure more than 16 HSRP
groups, this restriction prevents use of the VLAN number as the HSRP group number.
Identically numbered HSRP groups use the same virtual MAC address, which might cause
Note
errors if you configure bridging on the MSFC.
Because of the restriction to 16 unique HSRP group numbers, CEF for PFC2 cannot support the
standby use-bia HSRP command.
PFC3A supports 256 HSRP groups.
CEF for PFC2 supports the following ingress and egress encapsulations:
CEF for PFC3A supports Ethernet V2.0 (ARPA) only.
