TCAM Troubleshooting
As previously mentioned, the two primary components of forwarding hardware are forwarding logic and backplane. A switch’s backplane, however, is rarely the cause of a switch performance issue, because most Cisco Catalyst switches have high-capacity backplanes. However, it is conceivable that in a modular switch chassis, the backplane will not have the throughput to support a fully populated chassis, where each card in the chassis supports the highest combination of port densities and port speeds.
The architecture of some switches allows groups of switchports to be handled by separate hardware. Therefore, you might experience a performance gain by simply moving a cable from one switchport to another. However, to strategically ...
