Memory Consistency Check Routines - Cisco Catalyst 2975 Software Configuration Manual

Memory Consistency Check Routines

The filenames are crashinfo_ext_n where n is a sequence number.
You can configure the switch to not create the extended creashinfo file by using the no exception
crashinfo global configuration command.
Memory Consistency Check Routines
The switch runs memory consistency check routines to detect and correct invalid ternary content
addressable memory (TCAM) table entries that can affect the performance of the switch.
If the switch cannot fix the error, it logs a system error message, specifying the TCAM space in which
the error is located:
•
•
•
The output from the show platform tcam errors privileged EXEC command provides information about
the TCAM memory consistency integrity on the switch.
Displaying TCAM Memory Consistency Check Errors
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use this command to display the TCAM memory consistency
check errors detected on the switch:
Command
