<div dir="ltr"><div>David,</div><div><br></div>I think ipv4-ipv6 is there really to preserve prior deployments that may justify any adjustments to the cam-profile. I haven't found anyone who uses that for any new deployments, unless its just for testing or just very basic layer3. <div>

Is there a table that shows the values that are used for -X cards with<br>
the ipv4-ipv6 and ipv4-ipv6-2 profiles? Only one I could find seems to<br>
be for the normal cards<br>

Trying to understand when you'd want to use ipv4-ipv6 vs ipv4-ipv6-2<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

James,<br>
<br>
Did you also change the cam-partiion profile you are using?<br>
<br>
router#sh cam-part | i profile<br>
CAM partitioning profile: ipv4-ipv6-2<br>
<br>
If you're using the default profile, it will still have the tcam carved<br>
for 512k IPv4 routes.<br>
<br>
Also, updating the cam profile takes a reload.<br>
<br>

Hi All<br>
<br>
We are using both 5.3d and 5.4d on different devices and getting<br>
the same errors on different MLXe X platform, which should support 1<br>
million routes.<br>
<br>
CAM IP partition warning: total 524288 (reserved 0), free 26214,<br>
slot 3, ppcr 1<br>
<br>
However we have increased the ip-route and ip-cache cam to<br>
maximum:<br>
<br>

1048576 1048576 Yes<br>
<br>
<br>
Whilst the error is for 500k routes the maximum is set to 1<br>
million routes, what could be causing these errors ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
James<br>
