Chapter8 Configuring SDM Templates
Understanding the SDM Templates
The first eight rows in the tables (unicast MAC addresses through security A CEs) re present approximat e
hardware boundaries set when a template is selected. If a section of a hardware resource is full, all
processing overflow is sent to the CPU, seriously impacting switch performance. The last row is a
guideline used to calculate hardware resource consumption related to the number of Layer 2 V LANs on
the switch.
Dual IPv4 and IPv6 SDM Templates
You can select SDM templates to support IP Version 6 (IPv6). For more information about IPv6 and how
to configure IPv6 unicast routing, see Chapter 39, “Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing.”
This software release does not support IPv6 multicast routing and QoS.
This software release does not support policy-based routing (PBR) when forwarding IPv6 traffic. The
software supports IPv4 PBR only when the dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing template is configured.
The dual IPv4 and IPv6 templates allow the switch to be used in dual stack environments (supporting
both IPv4 and IPv6). Using the dual stack templates results in less hardware capacity allowed for each
resource. Do not use them if you plan to forward only IPv4 traffic. These SDM templates support IPv4
and IPv6 environments:
Dual IPv4 and IPv6 default template—supports Layer 2, multicast, routing, QoS, and ACLs for
IPv4; and Layer 2, routing, and ACLs for IPv6 on the switch.
Dual IPv4 and IPv6 routing template—supports Layer 2, multicast, routing (includi ng policy-based
routing), QoS, and ACLs for IPv4; and Layer 2, routing, and ACLs for IPv6 on the swi tc h.
Dual IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN template—supports basic Layer 2, multicast, QoS, and ACLs for IPv4,
and basic Layer 2 and ACLs for IPv6 on the switch.
Table 8 -2 defines the approximate feature resources allocated by each dual IPv4 an d IPv6 templ ate.
Template estimations are based on a switch with 8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.
