Before the introduction of new capabilities, such as IPv6 match criteria, the system allocated egress TCAM resources on bootup for use by different criteria in SAP egress access control lists (ACLs) and other purposes; the resource allocation was not user configurable. With the introduction of new capabilities, such as IPv6 match criteria in egress, the static allocation of resources by software may not meet customer requirements if they want to use different features. Therefore, to facilitate user configuration and resource allocation in accordance with user needs, the ingress internal TCAM resource allocation capabilities have been extended to include the egress internal TCAM resources.
For information about specific CLI commands and features that use system resource allocation, see the CLI command and feature descriptions in the appropriate 7210 SAS software user manuals.
The commands in the config>system>resource-profile context, which require a reboot to take effect, are read and implemented by the system only during bootup. These commands do not take effect if the exec command is used to run the configuration file.
