Using Site Manager
Enabling ISP Mode on the Router
IP provides an Internet service provider (ISP) mode of operation. In ISP mode, IP
does the following:
• Enables BGP as a soloist. By default, BGP runs as a soloist on all slots
configured with IP interfaces.
• Disables IP forwarding caches. By default, IP maintains a forwarding cache
on each IP interface. IP maintains this table as a cache for routes that are
frequently used to forward data packets that arrive on the interface. However,
if the number of frequently used routes exceeds the size of the forwarding
table, the router continually updates the forwarding cache by removing old
routes and installing new route entries. ISP mode disables all forwarding
caches on all IP interfaces and optimizes the routing table to allow direct
forwarding, avoiding the overhead of cache misses and cache updates. If you
choose ISP mode, you do not have to explicitly disable the forwarding tables
on each interface.
