You’re Done! Where to Go from Here

–Click Address Pool to define a pool of dynamic NAT IP addresses.

–Click Add... to create NAT rules.

•To customize the router’s firewall policy or create an ACL, click Firewall Policy.

•To allow the router to be securely managed, click Management Access in the System tree.

SDM automatically saves changes to the router’s running configuration, and you can direct it to save the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Now that you have used SDM to give your router an initial configuration, you can continue to use SDM to configure additional features or modify existing feature configurations.You can use the SDM URL to start SDM and then add to, or modify, your router’s configuration at any time.

For More Information About SDM and About Your Router

For additional information about SDM features, refer to the SDM online help. Additional information about SDM is also available on the SDM website at http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm. This website provides access to detailed information about SDM, including an SDM FAQ, data sheet, customer presentation, Flash demo, and links to technical documentation and product updates.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for your router for other procedures, such as connecting a PC to the router console port so that you can use the CLI when you need to, and using the router LEDs to verify installation. The Quick Start Guide may also contain important warranty information.

I Want to Use the Cisco IOS Startup Sequence

If you have already configured the router using SDM, you don’t need to read this section.

Because SDM uses a default configuration file, your router will not execute the standard Cisco IOS startup sequence. You can use this section to run Cisco IOS setup utility and take advantage of a TFTP or BOOTP configuration download, or use other features available through the standard Cisco IOS startup sequence. It also tells you what to do if you want to use SDM in the future.

SDM has created a default configuration for your router. The configuration does the following:

•Provides an IP address for your Fast Ethernet interface, enabling an interface to your LAN

•Enables your router’s HTTP/HTTPS server, allowing HTTP access from your LAN

•Creates a default username (cisco) and password (cisco) with privilege level 15

•Enables Telnet/SSM access to the router from your LAN

If you want to erase the existing configuration and take advantage of the Cisco IOS startup sequence, perform the following steps. SDM will remain on the router.

Step 1 Connect the light blue console cable, included with your router, from the blue console port on your router to a serial port on your PC. Refer to your router’s Hardware Installation Guide for instructions.

Step 2 Connect the power supply to your router, plug the power supply into a power outlet, and turn on your router. Refer to your router’s Quick Start Guide for instructions.
