IPv6 CAM ACL Region
The IPv6 ACL CAM region is triple-wide in the platform. You can change the IPv6 ACL region to be double-wide mode. This results in a
better scale of the IPv6 ACL entries.
The IPV6 ACL CAM region can also be shared with the IPv4 QOS CAM region. You can partition the CAM as per the sharing requirements
and both IPV6 ACLs and IPV4 QOS entries are installed on the same CAM region.
Important Points to Remember
• When you convert the IPv6 ACL CAM region to double-wide, you can congure only up to 64 bit masks for IPv6 source and destination
addresses in the IPv6 ACL rules. The system rejects the host keyword when you write your ACL rules.
• When you convert the IPv6 ACL CAM region to double-wide, carve the IPv6 CAM region in multiples of two. You can use a maximum
value of eight.
• This feature is supported for IPv6 user ACLs only in the ingress direction
• After enabling the IPv6 ACL optimization and CAM sharing features, reload the system for the CAM sharing feature to work. If you do
not reload, the system does not allow you to boot into the warmboot mode.
• If you enable the IPv6 ACL optimization and CAM sharing features, the system does not allow you to downgrade to Dell networking
version 9.13(x.x) or earlier versions via warmboot.
• When CAM sharing is enabled, one of IPv4 QoS or IPv6 ACL CAM regions must be 0. The other non-zero CAM region is used for
sharing between the entries.
• When CAM sharing is enabled, 32 FP entries are allocated to IPv4 QoS region by default and the remaining entries are shared according
to the congured percentage values.
• When CAM sharing is enabled, a policy map with a single rule match ip dscp is installed in the DSCP table and no FP entries are
used. A combination of multiple rules including
match ip dscp in a policy map or a single rule other than match ip dscp are
installed in CAM similar to the existing behavior.
• When CAM sharing is enabled, the match ipv6 dscp rule is not supported
