# ip max-clients

## Syntax

```
ip max-clients <n>
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>n</td><td>The number of IP addresses.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

The default maximum IP addresses is specific to each Island model.

## Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the maximum number of IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6 combined) Island will support. Once this limit is reached, additional IP addresses will be ignored until older IP addresses go offline.

Caution: Changing this value causes a restart of the packet processing engine. This will cause a disruptime in routing for several seconds, and all active sessions through the Island will be deleted.

## Examples

```
ip max-clients 8000
```
