Chapter 7 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 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 multicast routes: 1K
number of unicast routes: 11K
number of directly connected hosts: 3K
number of indirect routes: 8K
number of qos aces: 512
number of security aces: 1K
On next reload, template will be "desktop vlan" template.
To return to the default template, use the no sdm prefer global configuration command.
This example shows how to configure a switch with the routing template.
Switch(config)# sdm prefer routing
Switch(config)# end
Switch# reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
sdm prefer {default | routing | vlan}
Specify the SDM template to be used on the switch:
The keywords have these meanings:
•
default—Gives balance to all functions.
•
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 set 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.
