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.
