Reference Guide
Field Description
Available CAM Indicates the free CAM space, in the partition, for the classification 
rules.
NOTE: The CAM entries reserved for the default rules are not 
included in the Available CAM column; free entries, from the 
default rules space, cannot be used as a policy map for the 
classification rules.
Estimated CAM per 
Port
Indicates the number of free CAM entries required (for the 
classification rules) to apply the input policy map on a single 
interface.
NOTE: The CAM entries for the default rule are not included in 
this column; a CAM entry for the default rule is always dedicated 
to a port and is always available for that interface.
Status (Allowed 
ports)
Indicates if the input policy map configuration on an interface 
belonging to a linecard/port-pipe is successful — Allowed (n) — or 
not successful — Exception. The allowed number (n) indicates the 
number of ports in that port-pipe on which the Policy Map can be 
applied successfully.
NOTE: In a Layer 2 Policy Map, IPv4/IPv6 rules are not allowed; therefore, the output 
contains only L2ACL CAM partition entries.
Example
FTOS# test cam-usage service-policy input pmap_l2 linecard all
For a L2 Input Policy Map pmap_l2, the output must be as 
follows,
