Usage Information This feature allows you to limit the number of multicast entries on the system. This number is the total of all 
the multicast entries on all line cards in the system. On each line card, the multicast module only installs the 
maximum number of entries, depending on the congured CAM prole.
To store multicast routes, use the IN-L3-McastFib CAM partition. It is a separate hardware limit that exists 
per port-pipe. This hardware space limitation can supersede any software-congured limit. The opposite is 
also true, the CAM partition might not be exhausted at the time the system-wide route limit set by the ip 
multicast-limit command is reached.
