Chapter 8 Configuring SDM Templates

Configuring the Switch SDM Template

Setting the SDM Template

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use the SDM template to maximize feature usage:

 

Command

Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

 

 

 

Step 2 sdm prefer {access default

Specify the SDM template to be used on the switch:

 

dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default routing

The keywords have these meanings:

 

vlan} routing vlan}

 

access—Maximizes system resources for ACLs.

 

 

 

 

default—Gives balance to all functions.

 

 

dual-ipv4-and-ipv6—Select a template that supports both IPv4

 

 

and IPv6 routing.

 

 

default—Balance IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 2 and Layer 3

 

 

functionality.

 

 

routing—Provide maximum usage for IPv4 and IPv6

 

 

routing, including IPv4 policy-based routing.

 

 

vlan—Provide maximum usage for IPv4 and IPv6 VLANs.

 

 

routing—Maximizes routing on the switch.

 

 

vlan—Maximizes VLAN configuration on the switch with no

 

 

routing supported in hardware.

 

 

Use the no sdm prefer command to reset the switch to the default

 

 

desktop template. The default template balances the use of system

 

 

resources.

 

Step 3

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

reload

Reload the operating system.

 

 

 

 

After the system reboots, you can use the show sdm prefer privileged EXEC command to verify the

 

new template configuration. If you enter the show sdm prefer command before you enter the reload

 

privileged EXEC command, the show sdm prefer command shows the template currently in use and the

 

template that will become active after a reload.

 

 

This is an example of an output display when you have changed the template and have not reloaded the

 

switch:

 

 

 

Switch# show sdm prefer

 

 

 

The current template is "desktop routing" template.

 

The selected template optimizes the resources in

 

the switch to support this level of features for

 

8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.

 

 

number of unicast mac addresses:

3K

 

number of igmp groups + multicast routes: 1K

 

number of unicast routes:

 

11K

 

number of directly connected hosts:

3K

 

number of indirect routes:

8K
