Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

IPv6 FIB 24-hour refresh occupies system resources, including CPU and memory resources. The longer a refresh interval is configured, the minor negative impacts it has on other services. You can configure flexibly a refresh interval based on system resources.

To reduce the system resource usage, run the ipv6 fib regularly-refresh entry-number command and the ipv6 fib regularly-refresh interval command to adjust the interval at which FIB entries are refreshed and the number of FIB entries refreshed each time.

Prerequisites

IPv6 FIB 24-hour refresh has been enabled. By default, this function has been enabled. If not, run the undo ipv6 fib regularly-refresh disable command in the system view to enable it.

Configuration Impact

If the configured refresh interval is too long, the lower layer hardware entries cannot be refreshed periodically, and this affects IPv6 route forwarding.

Example

# Configure the refresh interval each time for the IPv6 FIB to 5s.

[sysname] ipv6 fib regularly-refresh interval 5
