For extended ACL, TCP, and UDP lters, you can match criteria on specic or ranges of TCP or UDP ports. For extended ACL TCP lters,
you can also match criteria on established TCP sessions.
When creating an access list, the sequence of the lters is important. You have a choice of assigning sequence numbers to the lters as
you enter them, or the system assigns numbers in the order the lters are created. The sequence numbers are listed in the display output
of the show config and show ip accounting access-list commands.
Ingress and egress Hot Lock ACLs allow you to append or delete new rules into an existing ACL (already written into CAM) without
disrupting trac ow. Existing entries in the CAM are shued to accommodate the new entries. Hot lock ACLs are enabled by default and
support both standard and extended ACLs and on all platforms.
NOTE: Hot lock ACLs are supported for Ingress ACLs only.
CAM Usage
The following section describes CAM allocation and CAM optimization.
User Congurable CAM Allocation
CAM Optimization
User-Congurable CAM Allocation
User-congurable content-addressable memory (CAM) allows you to specify the amount of memory space that you want to allocate for
ACLs.
To allocate ACL CAM, use the cam-acl command in CONFIGURATION mode. For information about how to allocate CAM for ACL
VLANs, see
Allocating ACL VLAN CAM.
The CAM space is allotted in lter processor (FP) blocks. The total amount of space allowed is 12 FP Blocks. System ow requires four
blocks; these blocks cannot be reallocated.
The ipv4acl prole range is from 0 to 8. When conguring space foripv6acl, the total number of Blocks must equal 12. The ipv6acl
allocation must be a factor of 2 (2, 4). If allocation values are not entered for the CAM regions, the value is 0.
Save the new CAM settings to the startup-cong (use write-mem or copy run start) then reload the system for the new settings
to take eect.
Test CAM Usage
The test cam-usage command is supported on the C9000 series.
This command applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 CAM proles, but is best used when verifying QoS optimization for IPv6 ACLs.
