TCAM profiles

TCAM profiles enable you to optimize TCAM resources according to your system requirements.

Note

Note

TCAM profiles other than default are supported only on devices based on the DNX chipset family. For a list of such devices, see "Supported Hardware".

TCAM is used by various forwarding applications. A TCAM profile supports a specified group of forwarding applications.

The following TCAM profiles are supported:

TCAM Profile Scaling (DNX Devices)
