Managing Routers

Cisco Security Manager supports the management and configuration of security features and other

platform-specific features on Cisco IOS access security routers. You configure these features in the form

of policies, each of which defines a different aspect of the configuration of the router. For a detailed

explanation of the policy paradigm used by Security Manager, see Chapter5, “Managing Policies”.

You can discover the configurations that are already defined on Cisco IOS routers. The discovery process

imports the device configuration into Security Manager as policies and policy objects that you can then

manage as required. For more information, see Discovering Router Policies, page 58-3.

Note Security Manager supports Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.3 and higher. However, a limited number of

policies are supported for routers running Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1 or 12.2. See Configuring

Routers Running IOS Software Releases 12.1 and 12.2, page 58-2.

By right-clicking a policy type in one of the policy selectors, you can assign a policy to a single router,

share the policy among multiple routers, or unassign the policy from the device.

The following topics describe how to configure platform policies and interface policies on Cisco IOS
