Note that the type value is not used for all entry types. If the type value is not used for an entry type, write

the entry data from bit 0 of VCAP_ENTRY_DAT.

As an example of how a TCAM entry is laid out in the cache register, the following illustration shows a

TCAM entry of the IP6_TCP_UDP entry type for the VCAP IS2.

Entry Layout in Register Example

Generally, the type value must never be masked. However, by masking the type bits a lookup in the

VCAP is able to match several different entry types. For example, the IS2 entry types MAC_ETYPE and

MAC_LLC have the binary type values 0000 and 0001, respectively. By masking bit 0, a lookup is able to

match both entry types.

The entry type used in the preceding example only has one subword per entry in the TCAM. Creating a

TCAM entry with an entry type that has several subwords per TCAM entry is a little more complicated. As

shown in the following example, the ARP entry type of the VCAP IS2 is used. The ARP entry type has

two subwords per TCAM entry. From Table 70, page 96, it can be seen that the ARP entry type has a

width of 163 bits per subword. A row in the IS2 TCAM is 384 bits wide. For more information, see

Table 69, page 96. Each subword is assigned to half a TCAM row; that is, subword 0 is assigned to bits

0-187 and subword 1 is assigned to bits 188-375. Because the ARP entry only is 167 bits wide, there are

21 unused bits for each subword, as shown in the following illustration. The layout for VCAP_MASK_DAT

is similar to VCAP_ENTRY_DAT. In addition, a type-group value is associated to each subword. The

type-group values are laid out back-to-back in VCAP_TG_DAT as shown in the following illustration.
