Management Template Preference
A Switch Database Management (SDM) template is a description of the maximum resources
a switch or router can use for various features. Different SDM templates allow different
combinations of scaling factors, enabling different allocations of resources depending on how
the device is used. In other words, SDM templates enable you to reallocate system
resources to support a different mix of features based on your network requirements.
Note: If you attach a unit to a stack and its template does not match the
stack’s template, then the new unit automatically reboots using the
template used by the other stacking members. To avoid the automatic
reboot, first set the template to the SDM template used by existing
members of the stack. Then power off the new unit, attach it to the
stack, and power it on.
You can configure SDM template preferences for the switch.
To configure the SDM Template Preference settings:
1. Launch a web browser
.
2. In the address field of your web browser
, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens.
3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password,
and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a
local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
