Hi, I am looking for help because of a problem that happened to me with a SW S6720-32X-LI-32S, I am configuring the SW to redirect the traffic of 3 OLTs to 1 single NAT, in total it has to handle approximately 15 thousand entries in the ARP table divided into 3 vlanif. It had it perfectly configured with 2 OLTs (approximately 7800 entries in the arp table). When i connected the third OLT (approximately 5 thousand IPs-MAC), the arp table only learned until 8192 entries, but the mac address table is correct. Could the mentioned equipment have a limit of 8192 in the arp table? I didn't find anything in the documentation.

I have a S6720-30C-EI-24S as a replacement, but I would like to double check that it is not a configuration issue.

information of the device S6720-32X-LI-32S:

Thanks for the information.  

I would also verify the "resource-mode" in use. Possibly adjust using "assign resource-mode"
