Content Addressable Memory (CAM) for
ExaScale
Overview
This chapter discusses CAM commands for the E-Series ExaScale e
x
platform. Refer to
Chapter 15, Content Addressable Memory (CAM) for information on the commands for the E-Series
TeraScale platform
Commands
This chapter includes the following commands:
• cam-profile template [10M-CAM]
• enable
• flow
• layer-2
• layer-3
• microcode
• show cam-profile
• test cam-profile
Important Points to Remember
• The Default CAM-profile is supported on E-Series ExaScale with FTOS version 8.1.1.0 and later.
• The recommended, pre-defined CAM-profile templates are supported on E-Series ExaScale with
FTOS version 8.2.1.0 and later.
• The CAM-profile template is applied to entire system. You must save the running-configuration to
enable the change. Saving the running-configuration also ensures that the CAM-profile selected
remains in the case of a reboot.
• 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 the standby RPM has a profile different from the primary RPM, the RPM reboots so that it can
load the proper profile.
• Enabling a CAM-profile immediately replaces the existing CAM-profile. You will be prompted to
save the running-configuration and reload the system to implement the new CAM-profile.
