Configuring ACL CAM Carving on S6100-ON and
Z9100-ON
Dell Networking switches can operate in Hybrid mode, which enables OpenFlow and legacy functionality on the same switch. By default,
access control list content addressable memory (ACL CAM) space is not allocated for OpenFlow. To enable OpenFlow, reserve CAM
space for OpenFlow using the following commands. The amount of CAM space that you allocate for OpenFlow determines the number of
available ACL entries. For more information on CAM, refer to the Content Addressable Memory (CAM) chapter in the Dell Networking OS
Configuration Guide.
NOTE: The commands to allocate CAM space for OpenFlow on the S6100-ON and Z9100-ON differ from the commands used
for other switches.
1 Enter a value for cam-acl.
Select one of the following values for cam-acl:
• 0 (default): No space is allocated for OpenFlow. Change this value to three or six or nine to enable OpenFlow.
• If OpenFlow interface-type is PORT or VLAN, maximum number of flows that you can install is 744.
• If OpenFlow interface-type is ANY, the maximum number of flows that you can install is 372.
The following is an example OpenFlow (for max 744 entries):
Dell(conf)# cam-acl l2acl 0 ipv4acl 0 ipv6acl 0 ipv4qos 0 l2qos 0 l2pt 0 ipmacacl 0 vman-qos
0 openflow 9
2 Enter the value for cam-acl-vlan.
Select one of the following values for cam-acl-vlan:
• 0 (default): No space is allocated for OpenFlow. Change this value to one to enable OpenFlow.
• 1: Enables OpenFlow.
The following example shows a value of one allocated for cam-acl-vlan:
Dell(conf)# cam-acl-vlan vlanopenflow 1 vlaniscsi 1 vlanaclopt 0
3 Reboot the switch after changing the cam-acl and cam-acl-vlan values. If you do not reboot the switch, the configuration
changes do not take effect.
NOTE
:
To upgrade any configuration changes that have changed the NVRAM content, if you enable BMP 3.0, use the reload
conditional nvram-cfg-change command to perform a reload on the chassis .
