The size of CAM partitions is measured in entries. Table 11-1 shows the number of entries available in
each partition for all CAM profiles. The total CAM space is finite, therefor adding entries to one region
necessarily decreases the number available to other regions.
Table 11-1. CAM Profile Descriptions
CAM Profile Description
Default An all-purpose profile that allocates CAM space according to the way Dell Force10 systems are most
commonly used.
Available Microcodes: default, lag-hash-align, lag-hash-mpls, l2-switched-pbr
eg-default For EG-series line cards only. EG series line cards have two CAM modules per Port-pipe.
Available Microcodes: default, ipv6-extacl
ipv4-320k Provides 320K entries for the IPv4 Forwarding Information Base (FIB) and reduces the IPv4 Flow
partition to 12K.
Available Microcodes: default, lag-hash-mpls, l2-switched-pbr
ipv4-egacl-16k Provides 16K entries for egress ACLs
Available Microcodes: acl-group
ipv6-extacl Provides IPv6 functionality.
Available Microcodes: ipv6-extacl
l2-ipv4-inacl Provides 32K entries for Layer 2 ingress ACLs and 28K entries for Layer 3 IPv4 ingress ACLs.
Available Microcodes: default
unified-default Maintains the CAM allocations for the and IPv4 FIB while allocating more CAM space for the Ingress
and Egress Layer 2 ACL, and IPv4 ACL regions.
Available Microcodes: ipv6-extacl
ipv4-VRF Provides VRF functionality for IPv4.
Available Microcodes:ipv4-vrf
ipv4-v6-VRF Provides VRF functionality for both IPv4 and I.Pv6
Available Microcodes: ipv4-v6-vrf
ipv4-64k-ipv6 Provides IPv6 functionality; an alternate to ipv6-extacl that redistributes CAM space from the IPv4FIB
to IPv4Flow and IPv6FIB.
Available Microcodes: ipv6-extacl
