Assign a microcode to the CAM-profile template
Every CAM-profile template must have a microcode to control how packets go through the lookup tables
and are forwarded through the system. The default microcode is used with all CAM-profile templates,
except VRF. VRF uses its own microcode. Specifying a microcode is mandatory when selecting a CAM
profile (though you are not required to change it)
Validate CAM-profile templates
Validating the template confirms that defined allocations fit within certain hardware bounds. Dell Force10
recommends using the test cam-profile command to validate a template prior to implementing it.
Figure 12-5. Command Example: test cam-usage
Show CAM-profile templates
The show cam-profile command gives the output of the current cam-profile loaded on the chassis
Figure 12-6.
The
show cam-profile profile-name displays a specific cam-profile template to make it easier to view the
profile’s regional allocations prior to enabling it Figure 12-7. The output looks exactly like the
show
cam-profile
output, but it is not yet applied to the chassis, “show running cam-profile” can be used to get all
the configured cam-profile templates.
Use the
show running cam-profile command to list all the configured cam-profile templates. Note that in
Figure 12-7 the running cam-profile list also identifies which cam-profile template is enabled (default).

Note: When you enable a CAM-profile template, the output of the show cam-profile command does not
reflect any changes until you save the running-configuration and reload the chassis.
Force10#test cam-profile test
cam-profile 'test' can be applied to the system.
