RE: 7500 RSPs/VIPs and CEF

HI Chuck,

My understanding is if you turn on CEF distributed globally then it is
turned on for every VIP card. If you had VIP cards that were low on
memory you could go to that card and turn off distributed CEF with the
no IP route-cache distributed command. Also if it is a non VIP card
then it's not going to do distributed CEF on that card.

Hope that helps,

Ian

All,

        Sorry about yet another OT question, but I'm been reading for a
while and
still haven't found an optimum configuration guideline. I've got a 7513
router doing IP only, and configured with just simple access lists
inbound on
most interfaces. Physical cards are:

FDDI interface processor - no VIP
1 Fast Ethernet - integrated VIP2
RSP4
redundant RSP4
ATM OC3 PA-A1 - in a VIP2
ATM OC3 interface processor - no VIP

IOS is 12.2.19 Enterprise.

I'm thinking an optimum configuration would be:

IP CEF distributed (global)

Now, do I need anything else on the interfaces - IP route-cache
distributed,
IP route-cache cef, Ip route-cache cef distributed, etc, etc? The docs
don't
cover combinations of VIP and non-VIP connected interfaces very well.

Thanks,

Chuck Church
