maximum number of bgp routes for VM-series

Hello Community,

I found that the BGP forwarding table size entries for VM-Series FW (VM-100 to VM-300) ranges between 100 to 5000. Does it mean that if the number of advertised BGP routes received by the FW exceeds the forwarding table capacity this can lead to issues?

Hi @M.Fassel ,

Yes if the route capacity is exceeds then firewall will start discarding additional routes once it reached to it's capacity.
