Understanding the SDM Templates

You can use SDM templates to configure system resources in the switch to optimize support for specific
features, depending on how the switch is used in the network. You can select a template to provide
maximum system usage for some functions or use the default template to balance resources. For
example, you could use access template to obtain maximum ACL usage.
To allocate ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) resources for different usages, the switch SDM
templates prioritize system resources to optimize support for certain features. You can select SDM
templates for IP Version 4 (IPv4) to optimize these features:

You can also select a dual IPv4 and IPv6 template to support a a dual-stack environment. See the
IPv4 and IPv6 SDM Templates" section on page
IPv6 host or IPv6 MLD snooping.

Access—The access template maximizes system resources for access control lists (ACLs) to
accommodate a large number of ACLs.
Routing—The routing template maximizes system resources for unicast routing, typically required
for a router or aggregator in the center of a network.
VLANs—The VLAN template disables routing and supports the maximum number of unicast MAC
addresses. It would typically be selected for a Layer 2 switch.
Default—The default template gives balance to all functions.
lists the approximate numbers of each resource supported in each IPv4 template.
