Overview
You can configure secure network access on your Cisco 7204VXR, Cisco 7206VXR, or Cisco 7301
router using both the SDM management tool and CLI commands.
You launch SDM using a supported browser on a PC. SDM allows you to configure supported security
features, such as VPNs, firewalls, and digital certificates. Interfaces that SDM does not support, such as
token ring, must be configured using CLI commands. SDM attempts to read any configurations added
through CLI commands, but unsupported features are displayed as read-only in the SDM user interface.
Although multiple users can concurrently use SDM to monitor a router, it is not recommended that
multiple users concurrently modify the configuration; results may be inconsistent.
