Information About SDM Templates
You can use SDM templates to configure system resources to optimize support for specific features, depending
on how your device is used in the network. You can select a template to provide maximum system usage for
some functions.
Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches support the following templates:
• Core
• SDA
• NAT
• Distribution
After you change the template and the system reboots, you can use the show sdm prefer privileged EXEC
command to verify the new template configuration. If you enter the show sdm prefer command before you
enter the reload privileged EXEC command, the show sdm prefer command shows the template currently
in use and the template that will become active after a reload.
Customizable SDM Template
Overview of Customizable SDM Template
Switch Device Manager (SDM) templates can be used to configure system resources and optimize support
for specific features. However standard SDM templates are defined based on how the device is deployed in
the network.
