Chapter 11 Configuring SDM Templates
Information About Configuring SDM Templates
You can select a template to provide maximum system usage for some functions or use the default
template to balance resources.
To allocate ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) resources for different usages, the switch SDM
templates prioritize system resources to optimize support for certain features. When running the
LAN Base image, you can select SDM templates to optimize these features:
Default—The default template gives balance to all Layer 2 functions.
Dual IPv6 and IPv6—Allows the switch to be used in dual-stack environmen ts (supporting both
IPv4 and IPv6).
LAN Base Routing—The routing template maximizes system resources for IPv4 unicast routing,
typically required for a router or aggregator in the center of a network.
See the “Dual IPv4 and IPv6 SDM Default Template” section on page 11-3.
Note A switch running the LAN Lite image supports only the default SDM template.
