Setting the SDM Template

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use the SDM template to maximize feature
usage:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 sdm prefer {default | dual-ipv4-and-ipv6
default | lanbase-routing | qos}
Step 3 end
Step 4 reload
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 in use and the template that
becomes active after a reload.

The dual template is not supported on switches running the LAN lite image and is not
Note
required on Catalyst 2960-S switches.
Using the dual stack templates results in less TCAM capacity allowed for each resource, so do not
use it if you plan to forward only IPv4 traffic.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the SDM template to be used on the switch:
The keywords have these meanings:

•
dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default—Allows the switch to be used in
•
dual stack environments (supporting both IPv4 and IPv6).
lanbase-routing—Supports configuring unicast routes for static
•
routing on SVIs.
qos—Maximizes system resources for QoS ACEs.
•
Use the no sdm prefer command to set the switch to the default
template. The default template balances the use of system resources.
The Catalyst 2960-S switch supports only the default and
Note
lanbase-routing templates. Catalyst 2960-C Gigabit Ethernet
switches support only a default template.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Reload the operating system.
