Dell Force10 S4810P - Test CAM Usage; View CAM Profiles

Content Addressable Memory (CAM) | 281
To configure the IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and Qos regions on the entire system:
Test CAM Usage
The test cam-usage command is supported on platforms c e s
This command applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 CAM profiles, but is best used when verifying QoS
optimization for IPv6 ACLs.
Use this command to determine whether sufficient ACL CAM space is available to enable a service-policy.
Create a Class Map with all required ACL rules, then execute the
test cam-usage command in Privilege
mode to verify the actual CAM space required. The following example gives a sample of the output shown
when executing the command. The status column indicates whether or not the policy can be enabled.
