Reallocate Switch Memory
for Routing Switch Management Database (SDM) templates optimize how switch memory is
allocated for specific features, such as routing. To enable routing, you must
change the default SDM template to the Lanbase Routing template.
To apply an SDM template, follow these steps.
1. From the Admin menu, choose SDM-Template.
2. Choose a template from the pull-down menu:
• Default—Gives balance to all Layer 2 functions
• Lanbase Routing—Maximizes system resources for IPv4 unicast
routing, which is required to enable routing
• Unknown—User-configured from the CLI
3. Click Submit.
4. When a message appears prompting you to continue, click OK.
A message appears once the process is complete.
5. To enable routing, proceed to Enable and Configure Routing on page 148 .
IMPORTANT The process of changing the template causes the switch to
automatically restart.
