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.
