Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) User Guide for the Cisco 7200 VXR and Cisco 7301 Routers October, 2006
Note This User Guide covers the Cisco 7204VXR, the Cisco 7206VXR, and the Cisco 7301 routers. For
information on additional SDM supported platforms, go to: http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm.
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is an intuitive Java-based device-management tool
that lets you configure LAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, Virtual
Private Networks (VPNs), and other features without knowledge of the Cisco command-line interface
(CLI).
Note SDM does not support the following features on the Cisco 7200 VXR or Cisco 7301 routers: SDM Reset,
WAN configuration; therefore, you will need to use CLI commands to support th ese functions. The SDM
Express Wizard is not supported on the Cisco 7000 family.
SDM is preinstalled on your router Flash Disk or CompactFlash Disk when you order a security bundle
comprising a Cisco 7204VXR, Cisco 7206VXR, or Cisco 7301 router.
SDM can also be purchased and installed on an existing Cisco 7204VXR, Cisco 7206VXR, or Cisco 7301
router. See “Installing SDM (Optional)” section on page 6 for instructions on downloading and installing
SDM.
Because SDM uses a GUI interface, it requires that you access it from a PC using a supported web
browser. For the supported browsers, see the “Cisco IOS Software Requirements” section on page 4.
