M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Configure the Switch Database 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. The System Information page displays. 4. Select System > Management > SDM Template Preference. Configure System Information 83 User Manual
