ProSafe Managed Switch
Switch Database Management (SDM) Templates
You can use SDM templates to configure system resources in the switch and optimize
support for specific features depending on how the switch is used in the network. You can
select a template to provide the maximum system usage for a specific function. For example,
you could use a routing template to optimize resources for IPv4 routing if the network
environment does not use IPv6 routing.
Note the following:
• If you configure an SDM template, you must reload the switch for the configuration to take
effect.
• If you try to configure IPv6 routing without first selecting the dual IPv4-IPv6 routing
template, a warning message appears.
sdm prefer
Use this command to specify the SDM template to use on the switch.

Format no sdm prefer
Mode
show sdm prefer
Use this command to view the currently active SDM template and its scaling parameters, or
to view the scaling parameters for an inactive template. When used with no optional
keywords, this command lists the currently active template and the template that will become
ipv4-routing for IPv4 only builds, dual-ipv4-ipv6 for IPv6 builds
