SDM Templates and Switch Stacks
In a switch stack, all stack members must use the same SDM template that is stored on the active switch.
When a new switch is added to a stack, the SDM configuration that is stored on the active switch overrides
the template configured on an individual switch.
You can use the
show switch
privileged EXEC command to see if any stack members are in SDM mismatch
mode.
