Table 11. Default Cam Allocation Settings (continued)
CAM Allocation Setting
ipv4pbr 0
vrfv4Acl 0
Openflow 0
fedgovacl 0
NOTE: When you reconfigure CAM allocation, use the nlbclusteracl number command to change the number of NLB ARP
entries. The range is from 0 to 2. The default value is 0. At the default value of 0, eight NLB ARP entries are available
for use. This platform supports upto 1024 CAM entries. Select 1 to configure 1024 entries. Select 2 to configure 2048
entries. Even though you can perform CAM carving to allocate the maximum number of NLB entries, Dell EMC Networking
recommends you to use a maximum of 64 NLB ARP entries.
The following additional CAM allocation settings are supported.
Table 12. Additional Default CAM Allocation Settings
Additional CAM Allocation Setting
FCoE ACL (fcoeacl) 0
ISCSI Opt ACL (iscsioptacl) 0
You must enter the ipv6acl and vman-dual-qos allocations as a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). All other profile allocations can
use either even or odd numbered ranges. You can only have one odd number group when setting the CAM.
For the new settings to take effect, you must save the new CAM settings to the startup-config (write-mem or copy run
start) then reload the system for the new settings to take effect.
CAM Allocation for Egress
To allocate the space for egress L2, IPV4, and IPV6 ACL, use the cam-acl-egress command. The total number of available
FP blocks is 4. Allocate at least one group of L2ACL and IPV4 ACL.

NOTE:
Selecting default resets the CAM entries to the default settings. Select l2acl to allocate the desired space
for all other regions.
2. Enter the number of FP blocks for each region.
