SDM Startup Process
- You must direct your browser to an active IP address of the router because SDM functions as a Java applet in your browser.
- In the browser window, the Username and Password dialogue box and the SDM home page both appear. If you can access the account with permission level 15 and log in, the SDM JAVA applet will start downloading to your PC.
- Because SDM is a signed Java applet, your browser can issue a security alert. The options will vary depending on the browser you are using, but you can either accept the certificate for this session or always accept the certificate for any following sessions.
How To Run SDM When There is Not Enough Flash Memory?
A web-based device management solution for Cisco IOS routers is called SDM (Security Device Manager). It has a number of features that emphasize management simplicity, common interfaces, interoperability, and security. The fact that it is integrated should be highlighted initially. Simply direct your browser to the router’s active IP address to access the HTML files and other formats that will be stored in the router’s flash memory. If SDM support is enabled, you will then be presented with a graphical user interface that is menu-driven and point-and-click in nature.
