Limiting subscribers based on client type for different hardware elements

Use the subscribers-limit stanza at the [edit system services resource-monitor] hierarchy level to configure the maximum number of subscribers by client type (DHCP, L2TP, PPPoE, or the sum of all three) that are allowed per chassis, MPC, MIC, and port. Subscriber login is denied when the number of subscribers having that type exceeds the configured limit. This feature ensures that the number of subscribers per hardware element does not exceed the number that your network can serve with stability at the desired bandwidth. When the limit is reached for a hardware element, new subscribers can connect to another hardware element in the same broadcast domain. When you configure the limit on one or more legs of an aggregated Ethernet interface, login is denied if the subscriber count exceeds the value on any of the legs. Use the show system resource-monitor subscribers-limit command to display information about subscriber limits.
