Chapter 6 Configuring SDM Templates
Configuring the Switch SDM Template
Note An IPv4 route requires only one TCAM entry. Because of the hardware compression scheme used for
IPv6, an IPv6 route can take more than one TCAM entry, reducing the number of entries forwarded in
hardware.
Table 6-2 defines the approximate feature resources allocated by each dual template. Template
estimations are based on a switch with 8 routed interfaces and approximately 1000 VLANs.
Configuring the Switch SDM Template

Default SDM Template
The default template for a switch running the metro IP access image is the default template.
The default (and only) template supported on switches running the metro base or metro access image is
the layer-2 template.
