sdm prefer
Do not use the routing template if you do not have routing enabled on your switch. Entering the
sdm
prefer routing
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
{

routing

vlan
} global configuration command divides
resources between IPv4 and IPv6, limiting those allocated to IPv4 forwarding.
lists the approximate number of each resource supported in each of the three templates for a
switch. The first eight rows in the tables (unicast MAC addresses through security access control entries
[ACEs]) represent approximate hardware boundaries set when you select a template. If a section of a
hardware resource is full, all processing overflow is sent to the CPU, seriously impacting switch
performance. The last row is a guideline used to calculate hardware resource consumption related to the
other resource parameters.

templates for a switch.
