Determining the maximum number of ports available

The following steps describe how to determine the maximum number of ports available when using a specific resource definition:

Step

Action

1

Set the Resource[x].Size keyword to an impossibly high number (for example, 1000).

2

Attempt to boot the board.

3

When the board fails to boot, monitor oammon. An error message specifying the maximum number of ports possible with that resource configuration appears. For example:

Board Error 0xe40: Resource Manager: Insufficient resources. 120 ports allocated

Reset the Resource[x].Size keyword to the number indicated in the oammon error message.
