Microcode
Microcode is a compiled set of instructions for a CPU. On Dell Force10 systems, the microcode controls
how packets are handled.
There is a default microcode, and several other microcodes are available, so that you can adjust packet
handling according to your application. Specifying a microcode is mandatory when selecting a CAM
profile (though you are not required to change it).

Note:
Not all CAM profiles and microcodes are available for all systems. Refer to the Command Line
Interface Reference Guide for details regarding available profiles for each system.

Description
default
Distributes CAM space for a typical deployment
lag-hash-align
For applications that require the same hashing for bi-directional traffic (for example, VoIP
call or P2P file sharing). For port-channels, this microcode maps both directions of a
bi-directional flow to the same output link.
