Cisco SDM May Not Operate with Custom Configuration File
If you load a custom configuration file on the router using Cisco Configuration Express or any other
process, you may remove Command Line Interface (CLI) commands that Cisco SDM operation requires
amd prevent it from operating. Cisco SDM requires the following basic configuration in order to connect
to the router and manage it.
• An http or https server must be enabled with local authentication.
• A local user account with privilege level 15 and accompanying password must be configured.
• Vty line with protocol ssh/telnet must be enabled with local authentication. This is needed for
interactive commands.
• An http timeout policy must be configured with the parameters shown in the following example to
avoid a known launch issue with SDM.
• The PC on which SDM is to run and the interface through which SDM will be launched must be
configured with IP addresses from the same subnet.
The following example shows a configuration that contains the CLI commands Cisco SDM requires in
order to operate.
