Use this command to determine whether sufficient CAM space is available to enable a service-policy. Create a Class Map
with all required ACL rules, then execute the test cam-usage command in Privilege mode to verify the actual CAM space
required. The Status column in the command output indicates whether or not the policy can be enabled.
Example of the test cam-usage Command
Dell#test cam-usage service-policy input test-cam-usage stack-unit 7 po 0
