Say I was creating a DNAT rule, or firewall rule and added 7000 or so lines to it. Is this beyond what the ER-POE is designed to handle?
My specific situation is one of trying to block 7700 DNS servers. I did it by creating a NAT group but I havent applied that rule to anything. I used a current config file and edited it in notepad ++ to add all those lines to the rule that already had 6 entries. Now the router is stuck at
[....] Starting EdgeOS router: migrate rl-system configure
Did I overwhelm it?
This wasnt a seriously implemented production solution. All the same I'm wondering if there are hard limits or functional limits to the length of rules like that or firewall rules.
On my 2800s in my lab, the functional length of an ACL or list has to be less than 30-50 entries or the performance really suffers.
