Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Objective

TCAM is a faster lookup process where the routing tables store access control lists (ACLs), Quality of Service (QoS), and other information related with the upper layer processing. This is faster as it looks for the data as a start and then looks for the respective memory location, unlike RAM storage where memory address is used to search for specific data. The TCAM Utilization page is used to check the percentage of how much TCAM utilities are used and limit the usage for applications accordingly.

In this article the process to view the TCAM Utilization on a ESW2-350G series switch is detailed.
