Cpu Resource Control Default Configuration; Packet-Rate Threshold Commands - Foundry Networks NetIron M2404C User Manual

Foundry NetIron M2404C and M2404F Metro Access Switches
CPU Resource Profiling
This feature allows the user to optimize the use of the device according to the specific application.
For instance this will enable to allocate more ACL resources (up to 4K) in cases that routing
resources are not needed and vice versa, it will enable to allocate more routing resources in cases
that ACL resources are not needed.

CPU Resource Control Default Configuration

Table 34 shows the CPU Resource Control default configuration.
