Table 11-1. CAM Profile Descriptions
CAM Profile Description
ipv4-64k-ipv6 Provides IPv6 functionality; an alternate to ipv6-extacl that redistributes CAM space from the IPv4FIB
to IPv4Flow and IPv6FIB.
Available Microcodes: ipv6-extacl
The size of CAM partitions is measured in entries.
each partition for all CAM profiles. The total CAM space is finite, therefore adding entries to one region
necessarily decreases the number available to other regions.

Microcode

Microcode is a compiled set of instructions for a CPU. On Dell Force10 systems, the microcode controls
how packets are handled.
There is a default microcode, and several other microcodes are available, so that you can adjust packet
handling according to your application. Specifying a microcode is mandatory when selecting a CAM
profile (though you are not required to change it).
Note: Not all CAM profiles and microcodes are available for all systems. Refer to the Command Line
Interface Reference Guide for details regarding available profiles for each system.
