Configuring SDM Templates

Restrictions for Switch Device Manager Template

  • Only the default core SDM template and some custom SDM templates are supported on the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module. SDM templates like NAT, distribution, and customizable multicast are not supported.

  • If the device is operating with NAT template, Switch Device Manager (SDM) templates cannot be customized.

  • In a customizable SDM template the combined limit for multicast entries for Layer 2 and Layer 3 is 48K (K = 1024 entries).

  • It is mandatory to assign a priority value to each of the features when customizing an SDM template. The priority value decides the resource allocation for the features, when the total number of all the resources specified in the customizable SDM template exceeds the total number of system resources assigned to a customizable SDM Template.

  • The priority value of each feature should be unique. You cannot assign the same priority value to different features.

  • In case of RMA or Supervisor replacement, restoring the backup configuration does not restore the customized template. You have to reconfigure the customized template.

  • You can enable the 4K VLAN feature only through a customizable SDM template for 4K VLAN. You cannot customize any other FIB or ACL related features in the custom VLAN template.

    In a customizable SDM template for 4K VLAN, you can only increase the scale of VLAN from 1K to 4K. You cannot have custom VLAN values between 1K and 4K. Scales of other features that are limited due to limitations of the 1K VLAN table will remain the same.

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 standard template to provide maximum system usage for some functions.

The following table provides information about the SDM templates supported on the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches:

It is recommended that you reload the system as soon as you make a change to the SDM template. 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.


Note

  • The default standard SDM template is the Core template.

  • The NAT template cannot be used to create a customizable SDM template.

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.

A custom SDM template allows you to configure the features of the template based on your requirements and not the location of the device in the network.

  • Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release, you can configure a custom SDM template for Forwarding Information Base (FIB) features using the sdm prefer custom fib command. On the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module, a custom SDM template for FIB features is configurable starting with the Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.7.1 release.

  • Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release, you can configure a custom SDM template for Access Control List (ACL) features using the sdm prefer custom acl command. Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module does not support SDM template for ACL.

  • Starting with the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 release, you can configure a custom SDM template for 4K VLAN using the sdm prefer custom vlan command. Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module does not support SDM template for 4K VLAN, as these platforms natively support 4K VLANs.

A Customizable SDM template supports the following FIB features:

  • Unicast MAC addresses

  • Layer 3 Unicast forwarding

  • Layer 2 Multicast forwarding

  • Layer 3 Multicast forwarding

  • Ingress Netflow

  • Egress Netflow

  • SGT/DGT Index/MPLS VPN Label

A Customizable SDM template on the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module supports the following FIB features:

  • Unicast MAC addresses

  • FIB host routes for IPv4 and IPv6

  • ACL compression for IPv4 and IPv6

  • MPLS VPN Label

A Customizable SDM template supports the following ACL features:

  • Ingress Access Control List (ACL)

  • Egress ACL

  • Ingress Quality of Service (QoS)

  • Egress QoS

  • Netflow ACL

  • Policy Based Routing (PBR)/Network Address Translation (NAT)

  • Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)

  • Tunnels

A Customizable SDM template for 4K VLAN supports only the 4K VLAN feature. You can increase the scale of VLAN from 1k to 4k. A Customizable SDM template for 4K VLAN increases the number of supported Switch Virtual Interfaces (SVI) to 4000.

The following table shows the minimum and maximum scale values that can be configured for each of the FIB features, the step units and the default values that will be applied when no custom values are chosen for a feature.

You can determine which features are allocated the resources first by assigning them a priority using the priority keyword. The lower the priority-value assigned to a feature the higher its priority in resource allocation. The resource allocation algorithm uses the priority-values to determine the number of resources assigned to each feature.

Once you have configured a customized template the device will have to be reloaded for the template to take effect.


Note

  • NetFlow FIB entries consume twice as many hardware entries as configured, and SG Hash FIB entries consume half as many hardware entries as configured when NetFlow allocation is less than the allowed maximum value of 128K.


    Note

    This is not applicable to the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module.

  • For features where the scale value can be set to zero, you need to specify the scale value as zero. If not, the default value will be assigned as the scale value.

System resource allocation for Customizable SDM Template

The total number of system resources assigned to a Customizable SDM Template is 416K for FIB features and 52K for ACL features. If the total number of all the resources specified exceeds 416K for FIB features or 52K for ACL features, the system starts to lower the number of allotted resources starting with the feature assigned the highest number. A higher priority value or number assigned to a feature indicates a lower priority.

When the total number of resources assigned in the Customizable SDM Template is less than 416K for FIB features or less than 52K for ACL features:

  • All the features specified in the template are allotted resources as customized in the template. Any features not specified in the template are allotted the default number of resources.

  • If the total number of resources assigned to the FIB features multicast layer 2 and layer 3 exceeds 48K, then the scale of the multicast feature assigned the lower priority is reduced until the total number of resources assigned is equal to 48K.

  • Resources that are not allotted will not be distributed.

When the total number of resources assigned in the Customizable SDM Template is more than 416K for FIB features and more than 52K for ACL features:

  • All the features for which a custom scale is not specified are allotted the default values.

  • If the total number of resources assigned to FIB features multicast layer 2 and layer 3 exceeds 48K, then the scale of the multicast feature that is assigned the lower priority is reduced until the total number of resources assigned is less than or equal to 48K.

  • The number of resources allotted to the feature with the highest priority value are decreased by the step value.

  • If the total number of resources still exceeds 416K for FIB features or 52K for ACL features, the resources allotted to the next feature with the highest priority value are decreased by the step value.

  • While lowering the resources allotted to a feature, the scale is lowered only until the default value for that feature. If further adjustment is required, the resources allotted to the next feature on the priority list are reduced.


Note

The custom value entered by you for any feature is rounded up to the next step value. For example, if you enter a value of 40K for SGT it’s rounded up to 64K.

System resource allocation for Customizable SDM Template on the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module

The total number of system resources assigned to a Customizable SDM Template is 608K for FIB features. If the total number of resources specified exceeds 608K for FIB features, the system starts to lower the number of allotted resources starting with the feature assigned the highest number. A higher priority value or number assigned to a feature indicates a lower priority.

When the total number of resources assigned in the Customizable SDM Template is less than 608K for FIB features:

  • All the features specified in the template are allotted resources as customized in the template. Any features not specified in the template are allotted the default number of resources.

  • Resources that are not allotted will not be distributed.

When the total number of resources assigned in the Customizable SDM Template is more than 608K for FIB features:

  • All the features for which a custom scale is not specified are allotted the default values.

  • The number of resources allotted to the feature with the highest priority value are decreased by the step value.

  • If the total number of resources still exceeds 608K for FIB features, the resources allotted to the next feature with the highest priority value are decreased by the step value.

  • While lowering the resources allotted to a feature, the scale is lowered only until the default value for that feature. If further adjustment is required, the resources allotted to the next feature on the priority list are reduced.

Customizable SDM Template and High Availability

On a device which supports High Availability, when a Customizable SDM Template is configured on the active Supervisor it also takes effect on the standby Supervisor.

If the standby Supervisor is configured with a different custom template than the active Supervisor, the Customizable SDM Template of the active Supervisor is configured on the standby Supervisor during initialization.

Customizable SDM Template and StackWise Virtual

On a device which supports StackWise Virtual, when an SDM Template is configured on the active Supervisor it also takes effect on the standby chassis.

If the standby chassis is configured with a different custom template than the active Supervisor, the SDM Template of the active Supervisor is configured on the standby chassis during initialization. The standby chassis undergoes an extra reload for the template to take effect.

Customizable SDM Template and ISSU

When a device undergoes an In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to a higher release and there’s a change in the resource allocation algorithm, this upgrade can result in a different scale for the same user input. The change in scale is detected and notified via a syslog message. The system continues to operate with the earlier scale.

You can view the change in scale by using the show sdm prefer custom scale-change command. You can apply this change in scale by using the sdm prefer custom commit command. The device has to be reloaded for the change to take effect.

When a device with a customizable SDM template for FIB features undergoes a downgrade to a release earlier than the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release, you need to change the SDM template to a static SDM template before the downgrade. You can change the template using the sdm prefer template name command. Reload the system for the change to take effect before proceeding with the downgrade.

When a device with a customizable SDM template for ACL features undergoes a downgrade to a release earlier than the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release, you need to change the SDM template to a static SDM template before the downgrade.

When a device has customizable SDM templates for both FIB and ACL features customized in the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release and it downgrades to the Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1 release, the device will be restored with the customizations for the FIB features. The scale numbers for the ACL features will be alloted based on the scale values of the standard SDM template. The information about the customization of the ACL features will be preserved. The device will be restored with the customizations for the ACL features when it upgrades to the Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release.

Once you issue this command, all the custom values for the features have to be reconfigured.

Monitoring and Maintaining SDM Templates

Verifying SDM Templates

Use the following commands to monitor and maintain SDM templates.

Command Purpose

show sdm prefer

Displays the SDM template in use.


Note

The SDM templates contain only those commands that are defined as part of the templates. If a template enables another related command that is not defined in the template, then this other command will be visible when the show running config command is entered. For example, if the SDM template enables the switchport voice vlan command, then the spanning-tree portfast edge command may also be enabled (although it is not defined on the SDM template).

If the SDM template is removed, then other such related commands are also removed and have to be reconfigured explicitly.

Verifying Customizable SDM Templates

Use the following commands to verify the customizable SDM Template that will be applied.

Table 5. Commands to verify the customizable SDM template

Command

Description

show sdm prefer custom

Displays the custom values that will be applied to the features in the customizable SDM template.

show sdm prefer custom user-input

Displays the values that were entered by the user in the customizable SDM template.

show sdm prefer

Displays the customized SDM template that is currently active.

If any feature in the Customizable SDM template has been assigned a scale value of zero, the feature will not be listed in the output of the show sdm prefer custom command after the device is reloaded.

Example: Configuring a customized SDM template

The following example output shows how to configure a customized SDM template for FIB features. In this example, as the SG Hash/MPLS and Ingress Netflow features haven’t been assigned any resources in the customized template they are allotted resources according to their default values. 

Device(config)# sdm prefer custom fib 
Device(config-sdm-fib)# mac-address 128 priority 1
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 unicast 256 priority 2
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 multicast l3 32 priority 3
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 multicast l2 32 priority 4
Device(config-sdm-fib)# netflow_out 64 priority 5
Device(config-sdm-fib)# end

The following example output shows how to configure a customized SDM template for FIB features on the Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Supervisor 2 Module. 

Device(config)# sdm prefer custom fib 
Device(config-sdm-fib)# mac-address 128 priority 1
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4-and-ipv6 host-route 256 priority 2
Device(config-sdm-fib)# mpls-labels 256 priority 3
Device(config-sdm-fib)# og-sgacl 256 priority 4
Device(config-sdm-fib)# end

In the following examples as the SGT/ MPLS VPN features are assigned zero resources, no resources will be allotted to these features. 

Device(config)# sdm prefer custom fib 
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 unicast 164 priority 1
Device(config-sdm-fib)# mac-address 80 priority 2
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 multicast l2 16 priority 4
Device(config-sdm-fib)# ipv4_and_ipv6 multicast l3 16 priority 3
Device(config-sdm-fib)# sgt_or_mpls_vpn 0
Device(config-sdm-fib)# netflow_in 32 priority 5
Device(config-sdm-fib)# netflow_out 32 priority 6
Device(config-sdm-fib)# end

The following example output shows how to configure a customized SDM template for ACL features. In this example, as the Tunnels feature hasn’t been assigned any resources in the customized template it is allotted resources according to the default values. 

Device(config)# sdm prefer custom acl
Device(config-sdm-acl)# acl-ingress 26 priority 1
Device(config-sdm-acl)# acl-engress 20 priority 2
Device(config-sdm-acl)# lisp 2 priority 3
Device(config-sdm-acl)# nfl 2 priority 4
Device(config-sdm-acl)# pbr 2 priority 5
Device(config-sdm-acl)# qos-ingress 2 priority 6
Device(config-sdm-acl)# qos-egress 2 priority 7
Device(config-sdm-acl)# end

The following example output shows how to configure a customized SDM template for 4K VLAN.

Device(config)# sdm prefer custom VLAN
Device(config-sdm-vlan)# end
