profile etcam { default | ipv4-v6-route | ipv6-route }

Command Default

The default ETCAM profile is enabled.

Parameters

default: Specifies the default ETCAM profile: IPv4 unicast routes in the external lookup device (ELK). The internal longest prefix match (LPM) is used to program IPv6 unicast routes.
ipv4-v6-route: Specifies the profile that programs IPv4 and v6 unicast routes on external TCAM.
ipv6-route: Specifies the profile that programs IPv6 unicast routes in the external TCAM. The internal LPM is used to program IPv4 unicast routes.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported only on the SLX 9640.

For the new setting to take effect, you need to run the copy running-config startup-config to reload the device. Run this command during a maintenance window so that the profile changes are activated without interrupting normal network services.

This command does not have a no form. Specify default to revert to the default settings.

Examples

The following example specifies that IPv4 and IPv6 routes are programmed in the ELK.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)# profile etcam ipv4-v6-route
**Warning: To activate the new profile config, please run 'copy running-config 
startup-config' followed by reload system.
