Configuring SDM Templates

The Catalyst 2960, 2960-S, and 2960-C switch command reference has command syntax and usage

information about the Switch Database Management (SDM) templates. Different platform support

different SDM templates.

Understanding the SDM Templates

The SDM template used by Catalyst 2960-C Gigabit Ethernet switch and by the Catalyst 2960-S running

LAN Lite image is a default templates and is not configurable. Catalyst 2960-S switches running the

LAN base image support a default template and the lanbase-routing template.

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 ond of these

SDM templates to optimize features on the Catalyst 2960 switch and on the Catalyst 2960-C Fast

Ethernet switch: :

Default—The default template gives balance to all functions.

Dual—The dual IPv4 and IPv6 template allows the switch to be used in dual stack environments

(supporting both IPv4 and IPv6). Using the dual stack templates results in less TCAM capacity

allowed for each resource. Do not use them if you plan to forward only IPv4 traffic.

The dual IPv4 and IPv6 template is not supported on Catalyst 2960 switches running the LAN

Lite image and is not required on Catalyst 2960-S switches.

LAN base routing—The lanbase-routing template supports IPv4 unicast routes for configuring static

routing SVIs
