profile tcam

Optimizes hardware resources, by specifying a ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) profile.

Syntax

profile tcam { app-telemetry | border-routing | default | layer2-ratelimit | multicast-profile | vxlan-visibility }

Command Default

The default TCAM profile is enabled.

Parameters

app-telemetry: Optimizes resources for application telemetry. MCT is supported.
border-routing: Optimizes resources for border routing and BGP Flowspec features.
default: Optimizes resources with basic support for all applications. MCT is supported.
layer2-ratelimit: Optimizes resources for Layer 2 ACL egress rate-limiting and related applications.
multicast-profile: Optimizes resources for Layer 2 and Layer 3 IPv6 multicast.
vxlan-visibility: Optimizes resources for VXLAN transit visibility and GRE.

Modes

Hardware configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This feature is supported on the Extreme 8820, SLX 9740, SLX 9640, and SLX 9540 devices only.

This command does not support a no form. Use the profile tcam default form of the command to restore the default setting.

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.

Examples

The following example optimizes TCAM resources for Layer 2 applications and VPLS support.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# hardware
device(config-hardware)# profile tcam layer2-ratelimit
