Usage Information
This feature allows you to determine if the CAM has enough space available before applying the conguration on
an interface.
An input policy map with both Trust and Class-map conguration, the Class-map rules are ignored and only the
Trust rule is programmed in the CAM. In such an instance, the Estimated CAM output column contains the size of
the CAM space required for the Trust rule and not the Class-map rule.
The following describes the text cam-usage service-policy input policy-map linecard
command shown in the following example.
Field Description
stack-unit Indicates the line card slot number.
Portpipe Indicates the portpipe number.
CAM Partition The CAM space where the rules are added.
Available CAM Indicates the free CAM space, in the partition, for the classication rules.
NOTE: The CAM entries reserved for the default rules are not included in the
Available CAM column; free entries, from the default rules space, cannot be
used as a policy map for the classication rules.
Estimated CAM per
Port
Indicates the number of free CAM entries required (for the classication rules) to apply
the input policy map on a single interface.
NOTE: The CAM entries for the default rule are not included in this column; a
CAM entry for the default rule is always dedicated to a port and is always
available for that interface.
Status (Allowed
ports)
Indicates if the input policy map conguration on an interface belonging to a linecard/
port-pipe is successful — Allowed (n) — or not successful — Exception. The allowed
number (n) indicates the number of ports in that port-pipe on which the Policy Map can
be applied successfully.
NOTE: In a Layer 2 Policy Map, IPv4/IPv6 rules are not allowed; therefore, the output contains only
L2ACL CAM partition entries.
Example
Dell# test cam-usage service-policy input pmap_l2 stack-unit all
For a L2 Input Policy Map pmap_l2, the output must be as follows,
