CAM Optimization
When you enable the CAM optimization, if a Policy Map containing classication rules (ACL and/or DSCP/ ip-precedence rules) is applied
to more than one physical interface on the same port-pipe, only a single copy of the policy is written (only one FP entry is used). When you
disable this command, the system behaves as described in this chapter.
Troubleshoot CAM Proling
The following section describes CAM proling troubleshooting.
QoS CAM Region Limitation
To store QoS service policies, the default CAM prole allocates a partition within the IPv4Flow region.
If the QoS CAM space is exceeded, a message similar to the following displays.
If you exceed the QoS CAM space, follow these steps.
1 Verify that you have congured a CAM prole that allocates 24 K entries to the IPv4 system ow region.
2 Allocate more entries in the IPv4Flow region to QoS.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports the ability to view the actual CAM usage before applying a service-policy. The test cam-usage
service-policy
command provides this test framework. For more information, refer to Pre-Calculating Available QoS CAM Space.
Syslog Error When the Table is Full
In the Dell EMC Networking OS, the table full condition is displayed as CAM full only for LPM. But now the LPM is split into two tables.
There are two syslog errors that are displayed:
1 /65 to /128 Table full.
2 0/0 – 0/64 Table full.
