Field Description
Stack Unit
<number>
Details about the CAM blocks allocated for ACLs for various VLAN operations for a
particular stack unit.
Current
Settings(in block
sizes)
Information about the number of FP blocks that are currently in use or allocated.
VlanOpenFlow Number of FP blocks for VLAN open flow operations.
VlanIscsi Number of FP blocks for VLAN internet small computer system interface (iSCSI)
counters.
VlanHp Number of FP blocks for VLAN high performance processes.
VlanFcoe Number of FP blocks for VLAN Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) operations.
VlanAclOpt Number of FP blocks for ACL VLAN optimzation feature.

cam-acl-vlan
Allocate the number of flow processor (FP) blocks or entries for VLAN services and processes.
Syntax
cam-acl-vlan { default | vlanopenflow <0-2> | vlaniscsi <0-2> | vlanaclopt
<0-2>
Parameters
default Reset the number of FP blocks to default. By default, 0 groups are allocated for the
ACL in VCAP. ACL VLAN groups or CAM optimization is not enabled by default, and
you need to allocate the slices for CAM optimization.
vlanopenflow
<0-2>
Allocate the number of FP blocks for VLAN open flow operations.
vlaniscsi <0-2> Allocate the number of FP blocks for VLAN iSCSI counters.
vlanaclopt <0-2> Allocate the number of FP blocks for the ACL VLAN optimization feature.
Default If you use the default keyword with the cam-acl-vlan command, the FP blocks allocated for VLAN
processes are restored to their default values. No FP blocks or dynamic VLAN Content Aware Processor
(VCAP) groups are allocated for VLAN operations by default.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.3(0.0) Introduced on the MXL platform.
Usage
Information
The VLAN ContentAware Processor (VCAP) application is a pre-ingress CAP that modifies the VLAN
settings before packets are forwarded. To support the ACL CAM optimization functionality, the CAM
carving feature is enhanced. A total of four VACP groups are present, of which two are for fixed groups
and the other two are for dynamic groups. Out of the total of two dynamic groups, you can allocate zero,
244 Access Control List (ACL) VLAN Groups and Content Addressable Memory (CAM)
