6.8 System Resource Allocation
This section describes system resource allocation including the allocation of TCAM
resources, configuration guidelines and examples.
6.8.1 Allocation of Ingress Internal TCAM Resources
In previous releases, the system statically allocated ingress TCAM resources for use
by SAP ingress QoS classification, SAP ingress access control list (ACLs),
identifying and sending CFM OAM packets to CPU for local processing, and so on.
The resource allocation is not user-configurable. With the introduction of new
capabilities including IPv6 classification, UP MEP support, and G8032-fast-flood, the
static allocation of resources by software does not meet requirements of customers
who typically want to use different features.
The user can allocate a fixed amount of resources per system (or per card on
7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 devices) for QoS, ACLs, CFM/Y.1731 MEPs and
other features. Of these, some parameters are boot-time parameters and others are
run-time. A change in the current value of a boot-time parameter needs a node
reboot or, on 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 devices, a card reset using the reset
command, before the new value takes effect. Change in the current value of a
parameter that is designated run-time takes effect immediately if the software
determines that resources are available for use to accommodate the change.
On the 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 10/
100GE, and 7210 SAS-Mxp, the system resource profile parameters are available
using the config>system>resource-profile CLI context and the defined parameters
are applicable to the entire node. On the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, the
parameters are defined as a system resource profile policy that the user must
configure and associate with the IMM. The software reads the configured policy and
allocates resources appropriately per IMM, allowing users to allocate resources to
different features per IMM. On the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12, some system
resource profile parameters apply to the entire node and not just the IMM. For more
information, see System Resource-Profile Router Commands for 7210 SAS-M,
7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE.
During bootup, the system reads the resource profile parameters and allocates
resources to features in the order they appear in the configuration file.
