Calculating the number of classification entries per FC

Apply the rules to determine the number of classification entries per FC (only for the FCs in use) using the following equation:

C(i) = SFC_{i (unicast)}+ FC_{i
(multicast)} + FC_{i( broadcast)} + FC_{i
(unknown_unicast)}

i = nc, h1, ef, h2, l1, af, l2, be

where:

FC_i (unicast), FC_i (multicast), FC_i (broadcast), and FC_i (unknown-unicast) are set to a value of 1 if this FC uses classifier to identify traffic-type unicast, multicast, broadcast, and unknown-unicast respectively
FC_i (unicast), FC_i (multicast), FC_i(broadcast), and FC_i (unknown-unicast) are set to a value of 0 if this FC does not use a classifier to identify this traffic-type

If the user does not configure meters explicitly for the FC and meter ‟11” is not created, the default unicast meter is used for all traffic types; therefore only one classification entry in hardware is required by the FC. If the user does not configure meters explicitly for the FC and meter ‟11” is created, the default unicast meter and multicast meter are used. By default, two classification entries in hardware are required by an FC.
