show sdm prefer only shows you the current template and numbers from the
published tables.  I'm more interested in tcam resources actually
used/available on the live switches.  I see from show vlan internal usage,
that the 3550s set aside internal vlan numbers for each L3 interface.  Do
these count just the same as SVIs as far as resource usage is concerned?
I don't generally have any SVIs other than vlan1 on the 3550s, though I
have been considering using SVIs as an alternative to trunking some of
vlans back to the routers.
