Switch Database Management (SDM) Templates

You can use SDM templates to configure system resources in the switch and optimize support for
specific features depending on how the switch is used in the network. You can select a template
to provide the maximum system usage for a specific function. For example, you could use a
routing template to optimize resources for IPv4 routing if the network environment does not use
IPv6 routing.
Note the following:
• If you configure an SDM template, you must reload the switch for the configuration to take
effect.
• If you try to configure IPv6 routing without first selecting the dual IPv4-IPv6 routing
template, a warning message appears.

sdm prefer

Use this command to specify the SDM template to use on the switch.
Default ipv4-routing for IPv4 only builds, dual-ipv4-ipv6 for IPv6 builds
Format
sdm prefer {ipv4-routing {default | data-center}
Mode Global Config
Parameter Description
ipv4-routing Supports IPv4 routing only.
•
•
no sdm prefer
Use this command to return to the default template.
Format
no sdm prefer
Mode Global Config

show sdm prefer

Use this command to view the currently active SDM template and its scaling parameters, or to
view the scaling parameters for an inactive template. When used with no optional keywords, this
command lists the currently active template and the template that will become active on the next
reboot, if it is different from the currently active template. If the system boots with a
non-default template and you clear the template configuration either using the no sdm
prefer command or by deleting the startup configuration, the show sdm prefer command
lists the default template as the next active template.
-data-center . Support more ECMP next hops in IPv4 routes.
-default . The routing template maximizes system resources for unicast routing,
typically required for a router in the center of a network.
