You can configure only two of these features at a time.
To allocate the number of FP blocks for VLAN open flow operations, use the cam-acl-vlan vlanopenflow <0-2> command.
To allocate the number of FP blocks for ACL VLAN optimization, use the cam-acl-vlan vlanaclopt <0-2> command.
To reset the number of FP blocks to the default, use the no version of these commands. By default, zero groups are allocated for the ACL
in VCAP. ACL VLAN groups or CAM optimization is not enabled by default. You must also allocate the slices for CAM optimization.
To display the number of FP blocks that is allocated for the different VLAN services, use the show cam-acl-vlan command. After you
configure the ACL VLAN groups, reboot the system to store the settings in nonvolatile storage. During CAM initialization, the chassis
manager reads the NVRAM and allocates the dynamic VCAP regions.
ACL Optimization to Increase Number of
Supported IPv4 ACLs
You can configure the Dell EMC Networking OS to support more number of IPv4 ACLs.
Restrictions for ACL Optimization
After you enable ACL optimization, the system does not support the following features:
Mirroring dropped packets
Ability to specify filtering for routed traffic only
ACLs applied on physical ports with VRF ranges
ACLs with filter parameters such as DSCP and ECN
PIM VLT
Filtering noninitial fragments of a datagram
If your ACL rules contain the following keywords, the system accepts the configuration and shows a message stating that these features
are not supported and ignores the configuration.
ttl
fragments
no-drop
dscp
ecn
Optimizing ACL for More Number of IPv4 ACL Rules
To optimize ACL for more number of IPv4 ACL rules, follow these steps:
1. Carve the vlanaclopt CAM region.
CONFIGURATION mode
cam-acl-vlan vlanopenflow 0 vlaniscsi 0 vlanaclopt 2
2. Enable the ACL optimized feature.
CONFIGURATION mode
feature acloptimized
3. Reload the system
EXEC Privilege
reload
After the system reloads, the Dell Networking OS enables the feature.
DellEMC(conf)#feature acloptimized
Configuration change will be in effect after save and reload. ACL config containing TTL,
layer3 and VRF conflicts with ACL Cam optimzation feature and these keywords would be
discarded while applying the ACL.
