Overview of Customizable SDM Template
A custom SDM template will allow you to configure the features of the template based on your requirements
and not the location of the device in the network. Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release,
you can configure a custom SDM template for Forwarding Information Base (FIB) using the sdm prefer
custom fib command.
Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release, you can configure a custom SDM template for
Access Control List (ACL) features using the sdm prefer custom acl command.
Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 release, you can configure a custom SDM template for 4k
VLAN using the sdm prefer custom vlan command.
A Customizable SDM template supports the following FIB features:
• Unicast MAC addresses
• Layer 3 Unicast forwarding
• Layer 2 Multicast forwarding
• Layer 3 Multicast forwarding
• Ingress Netflow
• Egress Netflow
• SGT/DGT Index / MPLS VPN Label
A Customizable SDM template supports the following ACL features:
• Ingress Access Control List (ACL)
• Egress ACL
• Ingress Quality of Service (QoS)
• Egress QoS

A Customizable SDM template for 4k VLAN supports only the 4K VLAN feature. You can increase the scale
of VLAN from 1k to 4k.
A Customizable SDM template for 4k VLAN increases the number of supported Switch Virtual Interfaces
(SVI) to 4000.
The following table shows the minimum and maximum scale values that can be configured for each of the
FIB features, the step units and the default values that will be applied when no custom values are chosen for
a feature.
