3560 SDM Template parameter location

[rwilletts]

We have a number of options when entering the ' sdm prefer ' command for example ' desktop ' or ' routing '

The switch changes ' mode ' once the switch is rebooted

My question is , where is this parameter stored ? I can't find it in running-config , flash or NVRAM ?

Hi

what does sh sdm prefere shows?

I changed this switch from default desktop to routing and rebooted the switch.  It show now routing as part of the template.

BTW, it does not show the command in the running config

Switch-B#sh sdm prefer
The current template is "desktop routing" template.
The selected template optimizes the resources in
the switch to support this level of features for
8 routed interfaces and 1024 VLANs.

Hi Reza,

Yes I have that info , I can change from ' desktop ' to ' routing ' no problem

My question is , where is the switch storing this information ?

[Reza Sharifi]

It is part of startup-config, so it is saved in nvram

Hi Reza,

The ' sdm prefer ' command isn't stored in startup-config so where does the device store this information ?
