Cam Optimization - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

CAM Optimization

When you enable the CAM optimization command, if a policy map containing classification rules (ACL
and/or dscp/ip-precedence rules) is applied to more than one physical interface on the same port-pipe, only
a single copy of the policy is written (only one FP entry is used).
When you disable this command, the system behaves as described in this chapter. However, enabling
CAM optimization would apply a single rate policy FP entry. If the input service policy maps applied to
several ports are the same, rate policing is applied to all the ports as a group and not individually.
