======Managing Switching Table Sizes======
=====General=====
* For lower-end switches, the finite memory can be adjusted to accommodate switch roles.
* This is done by changing the switch template.
* Also called: SDM, or Switch Database Management.
=====Template Options=====
* Template options include, but are not limited to.
* default
* Default bias
* access
* Access bias
* routing
* Unicast bias
* vlan
* VLAN bias
* dual-ipv4-and-ipv6
* Supports IPv4 and IPv6
* Display current template (on a 9300-24UX
* sw-27#show sdm prefer

These numbers are typical for L2 and IPv4 features.

so only half as many entries can be created.

=====Activate SDM Template=====
* The SDM template can be changed to another template by (On a 9300-24UX).
* sw-27(config)#sdm prefer nat
Changes to the running SDM preferences have been stored, but cannot take effect until the next reload. Use 'show sdm prefer' to see what SDM preference is currently active.
