Chapter8 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:
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 in use and the template that
becomes 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.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 sdm prefer {access | default |
dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default | routing |
vlan} | routing | vlan} [desktop]
Specify the SDM template to be used on the switch:
The keywords have these meanings:
access—Maximizes system resources for ACLs.
default—Gives balance to all functions.
This keyword is visible on Catalyst 3750-12S switches to use
with the desktop keyword to set the switch to the default desktop
template. (Use the no sdm prefer command to set a desktop
switch to the default desktop template or to set an aggregator
switch to the default aggregator template.)
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 IPv4 routing on the switch.
vlan—Maximizes VLAN configuration on the switch with no
routing supported in hardware.
desktop—Supported only on Catalyst 3750-12S switches. Sets
the switch to the default, routing, or VLAN desktop template.
Use the no sdm prefer command to set the switch to the default
template.
Step3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step4 reload Reload the operating system.
