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; for example, use the default template to balance resources,

and use access template to obtain maximum ACL usage.

To allocate hardware 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:

Routing—The routing template maximizes system resources for unicast routing, typically required

for a router 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.

Access—The access template maximizes system resources for access control lists (ACLs) to

accommodate a large number of ACLs.
