Switch Memory Allocation
The following table provides details on default memory allocation for the
switches.
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.
The following SDM templates are recommended:
• Default
• Lanbase-routing
You may need to use the routing template if you enable static routing, or if you
have more than 180 IGMP groups or multicast routes. Other SDM templates are
available, but will not be covered in detail.
You can select SDM templates for IP Version 4 (IPv4) to optimize these features.
Device Manager Web
Interface
You can manage the switch by using the Device Manager Web interface to
configure and monitor the switch. The Device Manager Web interface is a
graphical device management tool for configuring, monitoring, and
troubleshooting individual switches.
The Device Manager Web interface displays real-time views of switch
configuration and performance. It simplifies configuration tasks with features
such as Smartports to quickly set up the switch and its ports. It uses graphical,
color-coded displays, such as the Front Panel view, graphs, and animated
indicators to simplify monitoring tasks. It provides alert tools to help you to
identify and to solve networking problems.
