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 or use the default template to balance resources.
To allocate ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) resources for different usages, the switch SDM
templates prioritize system resources to optimize support for certain features. You can select SDM
templates to optimize these features:
• Default—The default template gives balance to all functions.
• QoS—The QoS template maximizes system resources for quality of service (QoS) access control
entries (ACEs).
