Select CAM Profiles
A CAM profile is selected in CONFIGURATION mode. The CAM profile is applied to entire system,
however, you must save the running-configuration to affect the change.
All components in the chassis must have the same CAM profile and microcode. The profile and microcode
loaded on the primary RPM determines the profile that is required on all other chassis components.
• If a newly installed line card has a profile different from the primary RPM, the card reboots so that it
can load the proper profile.
• If a the standby RPM has a profile different from the primary RPM, the card reboots so that it can load
the proper profile.
