But what if I were to apply say, a 10-rule filter, to all 30 ports at
the same time (e.g. for POP3, DNS, and SMTP access only)? How would
this affect CPU load and memory capacity?
This is what I see with 29 users on, and this one filter, and about 50
entries (dynamic) in the IP routing table:
term1.foo>show mem
System memory 1044479 bytes - 943456 used, 101023 available
4240:3 1152:1 640:6 112:2 2048:6 80:3 64:3 144:7 16:141 160:0 192:1 128:6 32:2
System nbufs 1400 - 170 used, 1230 available
Thanks....
