System Support Capacities
The Calix E7 system support capacities follow.
Description
Capacity
General System
User accounts, locally defined (not in the RADIUS)
100
Simultaneous Netconf sessions for web browser interface
15
The Netconf interface has a 30 minute timeout, which cannot
be turned off. The web browser interface has an inactivity
timer of approximately 30 minutes.
Simultaneous CLI sessions
5
There is an ENABLE/DISABLE flag in the CLI for session
timeout, but the only ENABLE timeout duration supported is 30
minutes.
There might temporarily be an extra Netconf (16) and an extra
CLI session (6), for just the duration of the login process. If the
extra session is accepted, then a previous, oldest session is
dropped under the assumption that this session is most likely
to be idle.
CLI Command Buffer
4000 characters for a single copy/paste operation
SNMP Trap destinations (defined by IP address)
5
RADIUS
4 authentication RADIUS servers and 4 accounting RADIUS
servers are supported
All of the authentication RADIUS servers are assumed to have
the same authentication information, that is, server replication.
The system communicates with the “best” server, and then
only sends to the next server if it does not get a response.
Where “best” is determined by the success rate of getting
responses to recent requests.
MAC address Table (E7 line cards share a common table)
32,000
Switching Capacity
Wire speed full duplex forwarding across all ports. Dedicated,
non-blocking switch port to all VDSL2, GPON, GE, and 10GE
interfaces.
Default "Native" VLAN for untagged traffic (GE and 10GE
ports) on Trunk and Edge interfaces.
1 - This VLAN is utilized to switch all untagged traffic through
the system. This VLAN cannot be deleted, but can be
changed. Not supported on GE-24x GE, ONT Ethernet ports,
or E7 Access interfaces.
Bandwidth rate limiting
1 Mbps up to line rate for GE and 10GE ports
64 kbps to 2 Mbps in 64kbps increments; 1 Mbps
increments from 2 Mbps up to 1000 Mbps for GPON ONT
Ethernet ports
Egress Priority Queues per 1GE or 10GE port (not ONT
Ethernet ports)
8 per port (GE and 10GE) ports based on P-bit value with
P-bit = 7 highest priority
4 per PON (GPON) P-bit values are mapped into four
GPON CoS queues
Queue Scheduling Algorithm
Strict priority across 8 queues, with maximum and minimum
guaranteed bandwidth per class. Tail drop is used when
dropping packets from queue.
Concurrent Multicast Streams
E7-20: 2000
E7-2 xDSL: 2000
E7-2 GPON: 4000 (for GE-24, GE-12, and 10GE-4 cards)
By default 10 to 12 entries are reserved for control traffic on a
per VLAN basis.
