Chapter 1 Cisco SDM Express
Security Settings
The firewall protects your network in the following ways:
•Apply default access rules to inside and outside
•Apply default inspection rules to outside
•Enable IP Unicast
If you choose to let the Cisco SDM Express configure the firewall, you can modify the firewall configuration later using Cisco SDM. If you choose not to have a firewall configured, you can configure one later using Cisco SDM Express or Cisco SDM. For more information, click Cisco Router and Security Device Manager.
Security Settings
This window lets you disable features that are on by default in the Cisco IOS software and that can create security risks or make the router send messages at such a high volume that it would use up its available memory. You should leave the check boxes checked unless you know that your requirements are different. This help topic links to descriptions of each security setting that
Cisco SDM Express makes.
You can use Cisco SDM Express to change security settings that you make in this window after you have completed initial configuration. If you want to change any of the individual settings listed under the setting groups described in this help page, you can do so by using Cisco SDM. For more information, click
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager.
