Installing SDM on a Cisco router

Enviroment :

Cisco 2691, Cisco SDM 2.5, Windows XP, JRE 1.6 update 6

Installation / Usage :

Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is a Web-based device-management tool for Cisco routers that can improve the productivity of network managers, simplify router deployments, and help troubleshoot complex network and VPN connectivity issues.

Follow the instructions below to configure a router to run SDM.

Step 1:
1. Connect to your router using Telnet, SSH or via console.
2. Enter the global configuration mode using the command:

Router>enable
Router#conf terminal
Router(config)#

Step 2 :
Enable the router’s HTTP/HTTPS server, using the following Cisco IOS commands:

Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http secure-server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local

Note:- HTTPS is enabled only for crypto enabled IOS images.
Step 3:
Create a user with privilege level 15.

Router(config)# username <username> privilege 15 password 0 <password>

Note:- Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password that you want to configure.
Step 4:
Configure SSH and Telnet for local login and privilege level 15:

Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# privilege level 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)# exit

Step 5: (Optional) Enable local logging to support the log monitoring function:
Router(config)# logging buffered 51200 warning

* Note the version of JRE which you are using. This most common problem encounter when unable to load the SDM.
