What Are Sdm Templates - Dell PowerConnect 7048P Manual

Telnet sessions open with several different switches, the system name can
help you quickly identify the switch because the host name replaces
console as the CLI command prompt.
The Banner can provide information about the switch status. For example, if
multiple users connect to the switch, the message of the day (MOTD) banner
might alert everyone who connects to the switch about a scheduled switch
image upgrade.

What Are SDM Templates?

An SDM template is a description of the maximum resources a switch or
router can use for various features. Different SDM templates allow different
combinations of scaling factors, enabling different allocations of resources
depending on how the device is used. In other words, SDM templates enable
you to reallocate system resources to support a different mix of features based
on your network requirements.
PowerConnect 7000 Series switches support the following three templates:
• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 (default)
• IPv4 Routing
• IPv4 Data Center
Table 11-3 describes the parameters that are scaled for each template and the
per-template maximum value of the parameter.
