Memory Consistency Check Routines
Extended crashinfo files are kept in this directory on the flash file system:
flash:/crashinfo_ext/.
The filenames are crashinfo_ext_n where n is a sequence number.
You can configure the switch to not create the extended creashinfo file by using the no exception
crashinfo global configuration command.
Memory Consistency Check Routines
The switch runs memory consistency check routines to detect and correct invalid ternary content
addressable memory (TCAM) table entries that can affect the performance of the switch.
If the switch cannot fix the error, it logs a system error message, specifying the TCAM space in which
the error is located:
Unassigned space: Unassigned TCAM table entries for the current SDM template.
Hulc Forwarding TCAM Manager (HFTM) space: Related to the Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding
tables.
Hulc Quality of Service (QoS)/access control list (ACL) TCAM Manager (HQATM) space: Related
to ACL and ACL-like tables such as QoS classification and policy routing.
The output from the show platform tcam errors privileged EXEC command provides information about
the TCAM memory consistency integrity on the switch.

Displaying TCAM Memory Consistency Check Errors

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use this command to display the TCAM memory consistency
check errors detected on the switch:
This example shows information about the TCAM memory consistency integrity on the switch:
Switch# show platform tcam errors

The display provides information about TCAM portions that were checked for integrity.
Command Purpose
show platform tcam errors Displays TCAM memory consistency check errors in the Hulc
QoS/ACL TCAM Manager (HQATM), Hulc Forwarding TCAM
Manager (HFTM), and unassigned spaces on the TCAM.
