portCamShow

portCamShow
Displays port-based filter CAM utilization.
Synopsis portcamshow [slotnumber/]portnumber
Description Use this command to display the current filter Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) utilization of a
specified port.
The command displays the following information:
SID used
DID used
SID entries
DID entries
SID free
DID free
Notes This command cannot be executed on a logical port.
Ports that support shared areas are divided into two ports: primary and secondary ports. Primary
and secondary ports share the same area. Port CAM entries displayed on the primary ports also
consist of all the secondary port SIDs and DIDs as well, when both the ports are F_Ports. This is
because the primary port acts as a proxy for the CAM entries of the secondary port, in this case
using redirect filters.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
