Configuring IPv6
Dual IPv4-and-IPv6 SDM Templates
These SDM templates support IPv4 and IPv6 environments:
Note This release does not support IPv6 multicast routing or QoS. This release does support IPv6 Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping.
• Dual IPv4 and IPv6 default SDM template—supports Layer 2, QoS, and ACLs for IPv4; and Layer
2 and ACLs for IPv6 on the switch.
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 29-1 defines the approximate feature resources allocated by each new template.
