SDM Template Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when selecting and configuring SDM templates:
• You must reload the switch for the configuration to take effect.
• Use the sdm prefer vlan global configuration command only on switches intended for Layer 2
switching with no routing.
When you use the VLAN template, no system resources are reserved for routing entries, and any
routing is done through software. This overloads the CPU and severely degrades routing
performance.
• Do not use the routing template if you do not have routing enabled on your switch. To prevent other
features from using the memory allocated to unicast routing in the routing template, use the sdm
prefer routing global configuration command.
• If you try to configure IPv6 without first selecting a dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, a warning message
appears.
• Using the dual stack template results in less hardware capacity allowed for each resource, so do not
use it if you plan to forward only IPv4 traffic.
