CAM partition profiles

The CAM mode for IPv6 routes can be configured to host. You can set the CAM mode to host by
using the following command.

Brocade(config)# cam-mode ipv6 host

You must reload the device for this command to take effect.

Syntax: [no] cam-mode ipv6 host

The host parameter programs the complete 128 bit IPv6 address into the CAM.

Configuring IPv6 host drop CAM limit

To limit the usage of CAM by IPV6 hosts with unresolved ND, enter the ipv6 max-host-drop-cam
command.

Brocade(config)# ipv6 max-host-drop-cam 5

Syntax: [no] ipv6 max-host-drop-cam [limit]

The optional limit variable is the IPv6 drop CAM limit for a port per packet processor (PPCR). The
limit value can be from 0 through 65535.

CAM partition profiles

CAM is partitioned on the device by a variety of profiles that you can select depending on your
application. The available profiles are described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron XMR and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series.

To implement a CAM partition profile, enter the following command.

Brocade(config) cam-partition profile ipv4

The ipv4 parameter adjusts the CAM partitions, as described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron XMR

and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize the device for IPv4 applications.

The ipv4-ipv6 parameter adjusts the CAM partitions, as described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron

XMR and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize the device for IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack

applications

The ipv4-ipv6-2 parameter that was introduced in version 03.7.00, adjusts the CAM partitions, as
described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron XMR and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize

the device for increased IPv4 routes with room or IPv6.

The ipv4-vpls parameter adjusts the CAM partitions, as described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron

XMR and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize the device for IPv4 and MPLS VPLS

applications

The ipv4-vpn parameter adjusts the CAM partitions, as described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron

XMR and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize the device for IPv4 and MPLS Layer-3 VPN

applications

The ipv6 parameter adjusts the CAM partitions, as described in

Table 47

for Brocade NetIron XMR

and

Table 48

for Brocade MLX series, to optimize the device for IPv6 applications.
