Testing CAM Usage for QoS Policies
The test cam-usage command applies to the IPv4 ingress CAM partition.
To determine whether there is sucient space in this CAM region for the ACLs created in QoS service-policies, use this command.
You can create a class map with all required ACL rules and then enter the test cam-usage command in Privilege mode to verify the
actual CAM space required. The following example shows the command output. The status column indicates whether you can enable the
policy.
Example of the test cam-usage Command
Dell# test cam-usage service-policy input TestPolicy stack-unit all
Stack_Unit| Portpipe| CAM Partition| Available CAM| Estimated CAM per Port| Status
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2| 1| IPv4Flow| 232| 0| Allowed
4| 0| IPv4Flow| 232| 0| Allowed
Displaying CAM-ACL Settings
To display the current CAM ACL settings for each ingress region, the show cam-acl command is supported on the S5000.
The default ingress CAM ACL allocation settings on an S5000 (stack unit 0) are shown in the following example.
Example of CAM-ACL Settings
