Information
You must save the running configuration using the command copy running-config startup-config
after changing the CAM profile from CONFIGURATION mode. CAM profile changes take
effect after the next chassis reboot.

Display the details of the CAM profiles on the chassis and all line cards.
microcode microcode
Choose a microcode based on the CAM profile you chose. Not all
microcodes are available to be paired with a CAM profile.
• Enter the keyword default to select the microcode that distributes
CAM space for a typical deployment.
• Enter the keyword
lag-hash-align to select the microcode for
applications that require the same hashing for bi-directional traffic.
• Enter the keyword
lag-hash-mpls to select the microcode for hashing
based on MPLS labels (up to five labels deep).
• Enter the keyword ipv6-extacl to select the microcode for IPv6.
• Enter the keyword acl-group to select the microcode for applications
that need 16k egress IPv4 ACLs.
• Enter the keyword
ipv4-vrf to select the microcode for IPv4 VRF
applications.
• Enter the keyword
ipv4-v6-vrf to select the microcode for IPv4 and
IPv6 VRF applications.
• E-Series TeraScale only: Select l2-switched-pbr microcode if you
apply a PBR redirect list to a VLAN interface and want to prevent
Layer 2 traffic from being redirected and dropped. l2-switched-pbr
(IPv4-LDA) microcode allows only Layer 3 traffic to be redirected
while Layer 2 traffic is switched within the VLAN.
Version 8.4.1.0 Added support for l2-switched-pbr microcode.
Version 8.2.1.0 Added support for the ipv4-64k-ipv6 profile.
Version 7.9.1.0 Added support for VRF protocols.
Version 7.5.1.0 Added the l2-ipv4-inacl CAM profile
Version 7.4.2.0 Added the unified-default CAM profile and lag-hash-align microcode
Version 7.4.1.0 Added the lag-hash-mpls microcode
Version 6.5.1.0 Added the eg-default and ipv4-320k CAM profiles
Version 6.3.1.0 Introduced on E-Series
Note: Do not use the ipv4-egacl-16 CAM profile for Layer 2 egress ACLs.
Note: Do not make any changes to the CAM profile after you change the profile to
ipv4-320K and save the configuration until after you reload the chassis; any changes
lead to unexpected behavior. After you reload the chassis, you may make changes to
the IPv4 Flow partition.
