View CAM Usage
View the amount of CAM space available, used, and remaining in each ACL partition using the show cam-usage command from
EXEC Privilege mode.
Example of the show cam-usage Command

QoS CAM Region Limitation
To store QoS service policies, the default CAM prole allocates a partition within the IPv4Flow region.
If the QoS CAM space is exceeded, a message similar to the following displays.
%EX2YD:12 %DIFFSERV-2-DSA_QOS_CAM_INSTALL_FAILED: Not enough space in L3
Cam(PolicyQos) for class 2 (Te 1/20) entries on portpipe 1 for linecard 1
%EX2YD:12 %DIFFSERV-2-
DSA_QOS_CAM_INSTALL_FAILED: Not enough space in L3 Cam(PolicyQos) for class 5 (Te 1/
22) entries on portpipe 1 for linecard 1
If you exceed the QoS CAM space, follow these steps.
1. Verify that you have congured a CAM prole that allocates 24 K entries to the IPv4 system ow region.
2. Allocate more entries in the IPv4Flow region to QoS.
Dell Networking OS supports the ability to view the actual CAM usage before applying a service-policy. The test cam-usage
service-policy command provides this test framework. For more information, refer to Pre-Calculating Available QoS CAM
Space.
Implementing ACLs on Dell Networking OS
You can assign one IP ACL per interface with Dell Networking OS. If you do not assign an IP ACL to an interface, the software does
not use it in any other capacity.
The number of entries allowed per ACL is hardware-dependent.
If you enable counters on IP ACL rules that are already congured, those counters are reset when a new rule is inserted or
prepended. If a rule is appended, the existing counters are not aected. This is applicable to the following features:
• L2 Ingress Access list
• L2 Egress Access list
• L3 Ingress Access list
• L3 Egress Access list
