Understanding the Adjacency Table
For each FIB entry, CEF for PFC2/PFC3A stores Layer 2 information from the designated
MSFC2/MSFC3 for adjacent nodes in the adjacency table. Adjacent nodes are nodes that are directly
connected at Layer 2. To forward traffic, CEF for PFC2/PFC3A selects a route from a FIB entry, which
points to an adjacency entry, and uses the Layer 2 header for the adjacent node in the adjacency table
entry to rewrite the packet during Layer 3 switching. CEF for PFC2 supports 256,000 adjacency table
entries. CEF for PFC3A supports 1,000,000 adjacency table entries. Only half of the adjacency table entries
provide statistics.
