Options for optimizing TCAM profiles

TABLE 10

Keyword

Optimizes resources for . . .

default

Basic support for all applications

l2-ipv4-acl

Layer 2 and IPv4 ACLs

ipv4-v6-pbr

IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and policy-based routing tables

ipv4-v6-qos

IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and QoS

ipv6-v6-mcast

Multicast

l2-acl-qos

Layer 2 ACLs and QoS

Note the following conditions for TCAM profiles:

• TCAM profiles only affect ACLs, policy-based routing (PBR), QoS, and multicast entries, without

affecting other features, protocols, or hardware resources.

• The TCAM profile options (listed above) are not customizable or configurable, and they may not be

appropriate to all network designs.

• The following QoS features are optimized by TCAM profiles:

Flow-based QoS and flow-based policing for Layer2/Layer 3 ingress and egress

System Qos (VLAN-based) for Layer2/Layer 3 ingress and egress

Auto NAS

Storm control

Flow-based SPAN and RSPAN, including VXLAN based

Flow-based Sflow, including VXLAN based

• The following QoS features are not affected by TCAM profiles:

All port-based QoS features (RED; PFC and legacy flow control; CoS mutation, DSCP
CoS, DSCP traffic class, DSCP mutation; scheduling, shaping, and port-based policing)

Port-based SPAN and RSPAN

Port-based Sflow

Configuring hardware profiles

The following examples illustrate the application of the hardware-profile command, which is executed
in RBridge ID configuration mode. The options for the route-table and tcam keywords are as listed in
the tables in the previous section.
