Configuring an ACL VLAN Group
Configure an ACL VLAN group to optimize ACL CAM use.
NOTE: After you configure an ACL VLAN group, you must allocate CAM memory for ACL VLAN services to enable CAM
optimization. See Allocating ACL VLAN CAM for more information.
1. Create an ACL VLAN group
CONFIGURATION mode
acl-vlan-group group-name
2. Add a description.

3. Specify the VLAN members in the ACL VLAN group.
ACL-VLAN-GROUP CONFIGURATION (conf-acl-vl-grp) mode
member vlan vlan-range
4. Verify the currently configured ACL VLAN groups on the switch.

Allocating ACL VLAN CAM
CAM optimization for ACL VLAN groups is not enabled by default. You must allocate blocks of ACL VLAN CAM to enable ACL
CAM optimization by using the cam-acl-vlan command.
By default, 0 blocks of CAM are allocated for VLAN services in the VLAN Content Aware Processor (VCAP), an application
that modifies VLAN settings before forwarding packets on member interfaces. The cam-acl-vlan {vlanaclopt |
vlaniscsi | vlanopenflow} command allows you to allocate filter processor (FP) blocks of memory for ACL VLAN
services: iSCSI counters, Open Flow, and ACL VLAN optimization.
You can configure CAM allocation for only two of these VLAN services at a time. You can allocate from 0 to 2 FP blocks for
each VLAN service.
To allocate the number of FP blocks for ACL VLAN optimization, enter the cam-acl-vlan vlanaclopt <0-2> command.
After you configure ACL VLAN CAM, reboot the switch to enable CAM allocation for ACL VLAN optimization.
To display the number of FP blocks currently allocated to different ACL VLAN services, enter the show cam-acl-vlan
command.
To display the amount of CAM space currently used and available for Layer 2 and Layer 3 ACLs on the switch, enter the show
cam-usage command.
