So the right command for this requirement would be to use-

sdm prefer access

Thanks again.

By using Switch Database Management (SDM) templates, you can configure
memory resources in the switch to optimize support for specific features,
depending on how the switch is used in your network. You can select one of
four templates to specify how system resources are allocated. You can then
approximate the maximum number of unicast MAC addresses, Internet Group
Management Protocol (IGMP) groups, quality of service (QoS) access control
entries (ACEs), security ACEs, unicast routes, multicast routes, subnet
VLANs (routed interfaces), and Layer 2 VLANs that can be configured on the
switch.

The four templates prioritize system memory to optimize support for these
types of features:

  a.. QoS and security ACEs-The access template might typically be used in
an access switch at the network edge where the route table sizes might not
be substantial. Filtering and QoS might be more important because an access
switch is the entry to the whole network.
  b.. Routing-The routing template maximizes system resources for unicast
routing, typically required for a router or aggregator in the center of a
network.
  c.. VLANs-The VLAN template disables routing and supports the maximum
number of unicast MAC addresses. It would typically be selected for a
Catalyst 3550 used as a Layer 2 switch.
  d.. Default-The default template gives balance to all functionalities
(QoS, ACLs, unicast routing, multicast routing, VLANs and MAC addresses).
Does that help?
