Dell S6000 FTOS 9.0(2.0) Command Line Reference Guide for the System - Page 305

11 Content Addressable Memory (CAM) Overview Content Addressable Memory (CAM) commands are supported S6000 S-Series and Z-Series, as indicated by the symbols under each command heading: s z. Note: Not all CAM commands are supported on all platforms. Be sure to note the platform symbol when looking for a command. Warning: If you are using these features for the first time, contact Dell Networking Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for guidance. For information on contacting Dell Networking TAC, visit the Dell Networking website at http://support.dell.com/ This chapter includes the following sections: • CAM Profile Commands CAM Profile Commands The CAM profiling feature enables you to partition the CAM to best suit your application. For example: • Configure more Layer 2 FIB entries when the system is deployed as a switch. • Configure more Layer 3 FIB entries when the system is deployed as a router. • Configure more ACLs (when IPv6 is not employed). • Hash MPLS packets based on source and destination IP addresses for LAGs. • Hash based on bidirectional flow for LAGs. • Optimize the VLAN ACL Group feature, which permits group VLANs for IP egress ACLs. Important Points to Remember • FTOS versions 9.0.2.0 and later support CAM allocations on the S-Series. • All stack-units within a single system must have the same CAM profile (including CAM sub-region configurations); this profile must match the system CAM profile (the profile on the primary RPM). • FTOS automatically reconfigures the CAM profile on stack-units and the secondary RPM to match the system CAM profile by saving the correct profile on the card and then rebooting it.
