Hi Jason,
On some of the older switches you might find only a CAM for switching. Nowadays, even the L2 switches have some “L3” capabilities like QoS and access-lists so they’ll have a TCAM.
The 2960-X can also do some routing (just static routes with SVI interfaces) so you’ll find a TCAM for sure. I don’t have an older 2950/2960 switch around but if you have one, try the following command to see what kind of TCAM tables it has:
Switch#show platform tcam utilization
CAM Utilization for ASIC# 0 Max Used
Masks/Values Masks/values
Unicast mac addresses: 8412/8412 199/199
IPv4 IGMP groups + multicast routes: 1120/1120 1/1
IPv4 unicast directly-connected routes: 4096/4096 3/3
IPv4 unicast indirectly-connected routes: 2048/2048 38/38
IPv4 policy based routing aces: 442/442 12/12
IPv4 qos aces: 512/512 6/6
IPv4 security aces: 954/954 42/42
The output above is from a 3560E.
