MORE FUN FROM CISCO LIVE!!!!
What a GREAT day and evening Tuesday at Cisco Live 2010 Las Vegas! Cisco
had forecasted 10,000 attendees this year, but instead, the turnout is
over 13,500. I got the opportunity to run into a bunch of groupstudy
folks including Narbik, Scott, Marko, Nate, and others.
The CCIE/CCDE Netvet reception was fantastic. Lots of good food and good
Q&A with John Chambers. Joe Pinto, Jeanne Dunn, and Erik Ullanderson
attended the CCIE party along with the hundreds of CCIEs. What a blast.
If you didn’t make it to this year’s Cisco Live in Las Vegas, make sure
you attend next year.
John Chambers even stopped by the CCBOOTCAMP booth to spin the prize
wheel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGkj-ZMZkr4
I’d be curious to know what others have thought of this year’s Cisco
Live. I personally feel Cisco has really stepped things up from the past
couple years.
Don’t forget about the customer appreciation event this Wednesday
evening at the MGM Grand Arena starting at 7.30pm! Hope to see you
there.
thanks,
Brad Ellis

Configuring a Router to Support SDM
Configuring a Router to Support SDM
November 10, 2008
By Luke Foster
Cisco SDM (Security Device Manager) is a web based management tool that works with the Cisco IOS to aid in the configuration and management of Cisco routers. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows engineers with little experience to configure Cisco routers, and stage large deployments. SDM is also powerful enough to help experienced engineers efficiently implement advanced security measures such as an IPS (intrusion Prevention System).
There are two types of SDM, SDM and SDM Express. The express version is just a limited form of SDM for routers that do not have enough flash memory to support the full SDM (SDM requires 6MB of flash, SDM Express requires only 2MB of flash). SDM is factory installed on the 1800 series, 2800 series, and 3800 series routers. SDM is also factory installed on router platforms with the (K9) security bundle. If a router does not have SDM installed, the software can be downloaded for free from Cisco. When downloading the SDM software from Cisco, make sure to verify the IOS version of the router can support SDM.
SDM provides several wizards to walk an engineer through configuring a router. These wizards range from interface configurations, to VPN (Virtual Private Network), and even QoS (Quality of Service) configurations. The Security Device Manager also provides real time monitoring, logging, and security audit features. It will even notify an engineer if it notices conflicting configuration parameters and suggest resolutions.
Note - SDM can be enabled on deployed routers without affecting the network
To configure a router to support SDM:
First, enable the HTTP or HTTPS server on the router.
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http secure-server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
Router(config)# ip http timeout-policy idle 600 life 86400 requests 10000
Next, create a user who has enable privileges
Router(config)# username username privilege 15 secret 0 password
Finally, configure the vty lines to support telnet / ssh local login and privileged level 15 users
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# privilege level 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Note – If your router supports 16 vty lines, enter the commands above for vty line 5-15 as well
