Table2-1 Create Connection Fields
Element Description
Create New Connection Choose a connection type to configure on the physical interfaces
available on your router. Only interfaces that have not been
configured are available. If all interfaces have been configured, this
area of the window is not displayed.
If the router has Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or serial
interfaces, multiple connections can be configured from a single
interface because Cisco Router and Security Device Manager II
(Cisco SDM) configures subinterfaces for each interface of that
type.
The Other (Unsupported by Cisco SDM) radio button appears if an
unsupported logical or physical interface exists, or if a supported
interface exists that has been given an unsupported configuration.
When you click the Other (Unsupported by Cisco SDM) radio
button, the Create New Connection button is disabled.
