Limit to the number of IPs that RouterOS can handle?

Thu Feb 10, 2011 9:14 pm

Hello all -

Could not find it in the documentation, so asking here: is there a hard limit to the number of IP subnets or individual IPs (v4 or v6) that RouterOS can handle?

Thanks!

There are no hard coded limits.

Thanks. Is there a theoretical limit, like perhaps with the MAC address table, at which point performance might suffer?

Depends on how fast is your hardware and how much ram it has.

It's running on a 3.6GHz P4 with 1Gig RAM. But I guess your answer is "until you run out of RAM and/or max out the CPU"?

Perhaps if you provided your intended use or some specs to go off of you could get a recommendation on what hardware would be required.
