ACL Vs TCAM

[cisco_lad2004]

Dear all

I am about to deply quite a large ACL on a 4510.

is there any ways to evaluate the impact on TCAM (and CPU) before applying the ACL.

using test bed might not be accurate as traffic patterns will not be quite the same.

TIA

Sam

Try out this "sh platform tcam" and options

also try "sh tcam count",which give info of tcam resource usage..
