[f-nsp] exceed configured CAM size, larger partition size required

[Eldon Koyle]

You might check the receive-cam value.  It is documented in the security
guide.  The default is 1024 on the MLX, not sure if it is different for
XMR.  It says this is "the maximum number of ACL CAM entries that are
allowed"; 1024 sounds a bit low if you are applying an ACL on every
interface.

Assuming that each line in an ACL consumes one such entry and
each interface requires its own copy of the ACL, you could apply a
20-line ACL to 51 interfaces before you ran out.  I could be
interpreting this wrong, though.

MLXe8-M# show default values | inc receive-cam
receive-cam              1024       16384      1024       1024       1024       No
