Overview
The maximum number of policies that you can attach to interfaces on an E-series
router depends on the classifier entries that make up the policy and the number of
attachment resources available on the interface. JUNOSe software allocates
interface attachment resources when you attach policies to interfaces. See Interface
Attachment Resources on page 118 for information about attachment resources.
An E-series router supports software and hardware classifiers. A policy can be made
up of any combination of software and hardware classifiers. You use the
classifier-list command to configure all classifiers.
There are two categories of hardware classifiers, depending on the type of line
module being used. OC48/STM16, GE-2, and GE-HDE line modules support
content-addressable memory (CAM) hardware classifiers—all other line modules
support FPGA hardware classifiers. Ta b l e 1 4 lists the classifiers supported on
OC48/STM16, GE-2, and GE-HDE line modules; Ta b l e 1 5 lists the classifiers
supported on all other line modules.
