Introduction to iCAM: Overview and Benefits

iCAM (Intelligent CAM analytics and machine-learning) is Cisco’s breakthrough innovation that provides traffic analytics, per-feature hardware usage, recommendations and more, natively on the switch/router. You can: - Get visibility about traffic patterns. - Get info about which subnets and L4 ports are hitting top x % of the traffic - Get deep analysis of how their hardware is being used. How much of each hardware table is being used by each feature. - Get recommendation from the network equipment. Eg, if they have reached some high watermarks and are at risk due to scale. Or recommendation to make a configuration change to allow for higher scale or make other tradeoffs. - Automatically eliminate redundant configurations. Eg, ACL entries that have not been hit in 2 years, but are hogging the precious TCAM space. Read blog: http://cs.co/9007DXIe1.
