Content Addressable Memory (CAM)
You can use content addressable memory (CAM) commands to configure the amount of memory allocated to CAM memory partitions.
NOTE: Not all CAM commands are supported on all platforms. Be sure to note the platform when looking for a
command.
NOTE: If you are using these features for the first time, contact Dell EMC Networking Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) for guidance.
