sdm prefer
Do not use the routing template if you do not have routing enabled on your switch. Entering the
sdm
prefer routing
[
desktop
] global configuration command prevents other features from using the memory
allocated to unicast routing in the routing template.
Do not use the ipv4-and-ipv6 templates if you do not plan to enable IPv6 routing on the switch. Entering
the
sdm prefer ipv4-and-ipv6
{

divides resources between IPv4 and IPv6, limiting those allocated to IPv4 forwarding.
lists the approximate number of each resource supported in each of the IPv4-only templates
for a desktop or aggregator switch. The values in the template are based on eight routed interfaces and
approximately one thousand VLANs and represent the approximate 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.
lists the approximate number of each resource supported in each of the dual IPv4-and IPv6
templates for a desktop or aggregator switch.
