Using the Cisco SDM

The Security Device Manager of Cisco (SDM) and the Cisco Router is very much easy to use and in the java-based device-management tool, are designed for the configuring the LAN, WAN and the security features of a router. And the following steps are show and describe the use of a Cisco SDM.

Overview of the Cisco SDM:

The Cisco Secure Device manager (SDM) is an intuitive, and here it is a web-based device management which works in for the Cisco-IOS Software-based Routers. By using the wizards and the configuration Cisco SDM simplifies the security and the router configuration by using the wizards, which will makes to easily deploy, monitor and configure the cisco router without any requiring knowledge  of a command line type interface(CLI) commands. The Cisco SDM is mainly supported by the Cisco 830 series, Cisco 1800 series, Cisco 1700 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 3700 series, Cisco 2600XM and the Cisco 3800 series routers which are on the selected Cisco 7200 series and the Cisco 7301 routers.

In this the Cisco SDM allows you to easily configure the security, routing, switching and the quality of the services (QoS) is the services on the Cisco routers and while the helping in order to enable the proactive management through the performance the monitoring. Where there is an installation of the Cisco SDM and on the existing router, the certain user can remotely access configure the monitor and these routers without the using the Cisco IOS Software CLI. In the Cisco SDM GUI aids the non-expert users of Cisco IOS Software in a day-to-day set of operations, where they provides the easy-to-use the smart set of wizards, which automates the router security management, and they assists you by the online comprehensive which helps in and the tutorials. 

In the Cisco SDM smart wizards are helps in guiding the step by step through security and the router configuration by a systematically configuring the WAN and the LAN interfaces, intrusion prevention systems(IPS), firewalls, and in the IP security(IP sec) in the virtual private networks(VPN). The Cisco SDM wizards are intelligently and mainly detects the incorrect set of configurations and the propose fixes, such as mainly allows the DHCP traffic and through the firewall if there is a WAN which interfaces in the DHCP addressed. And in the help system for the Cisco SDM system contains the various appropriate background information to help in addition in a step-by-step information in order to enter the exact and the correct data in the Cisco SDM. The networking security terms and sort of important information definitions are included which are required in the online glossary.
The Cisco SDM is supported and implemented in several of the Cisco routers and they are associated in the Cisco IOS software versions.
