Synopsis

portcamshow [slot/]port

Description

Use this command to display the current filter Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) utilization of a
specified port.

The command displays the following information:

SID used

Total number of CAM entries used by this port. Note that each CAM entry,
either source ID (SID) or destination ID (DID) CAM, can be shared among a
certain number of ports, depending on the ASIC.

DID used

Total number of CAM entries used by this port. Note that each CAM entry
(either SID or DID CAM) can be shared among a certain number of ports,
depending on the ASIC.

SID entries

All existing source ID entries within the CAM for this port. Note that each CAM
entry (either SID or DID CAM) can be shared among a certain number of
ports, depending on the ASIC.

DID entries

All existing destination ID entries within the CAM for this port. Note that each
CAM entry (either SID or DID CAM) can be among a certain number of ports,
depending on the ASIC.

SID free

The total number of free SID CAM entries available for use by this port.

DID free

The total number of free DID CAM entries available for use by this port.

Notes

This command cannot be executed on a logical port.

Ports that support shared areas are divided into two ports: primary and secondary ports. Primary
and secondary ports share the same area. Port CAM entries displayed on the primary ports also
consist of all the secondary port SIDs and DIDs as well, when both the ports are F_Ports. This is
because the primary port acts as a proxy for the CAM entries of the secondary port, in this case
using redirect filters.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability
" for details.

This command is not supported on FCoE ports.

This command cannot be executed on a logical port.

slot
