Figure 2 Router Home Page
If the router home page does not appear when you enter the URL https://10.10.10.1
(or http://10.10.10.1), test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:
•Check that the PowerLED on the router is on, and that the LED for the port to which you connected
the PC is on, indicating an activeEthernet connection between the router and the PC. See Table 1 to
determine which LED this is. If this LED is not lit, verify that you are using a crossover cable to
connect the PC to the router, or that you are using a straight-through cable between the router and
the switch.
•If the Launch page still does not appear, verify that the web browser’s “work offline” option is
disabled. In Internet Explorer, click the File menu, and verify that the “work offline” option is
unchecked. In Netscape, the default selection in the File menu is set to “work online.”
•If the Launch page still does not appear, verify that the file sdm.tar is loaded into Flash memory.
Open a Telnetsession to 10.10.10.1, entering the username cisco and the password cisco. Enter the
show flash command to verify that sdm.tar is loaded in Flash memory.
•If the web page still does not appear, verify that the PC is configured with a static IP address.
