Important Notes

Table 4 on page 12 lists the files Cisco SDM uses.

Tip If you prefer to download a Cisco IOS image, and the SDM-Vnn.zip file, follow these instructions to use

an Internet connection to download an SDM-supported Cisco IOS image, and the SDM-Vnn.zip file.

a. Click the following link to obtain a Cisco IOS image from the Cisco Software Center:

http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center

b. Obtain an image that supports the features you want on the Cisco 12.2(11)T release or later. Save

the file to the TFTP server that is accessible from the router.

c. Use the following link to obtain the latest SDM-Vnn.zip file.

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/sdm

d. Extract the Cisco SDM files from SDM-Vnn.zip.

e. Click the setup.exe file to start the SDM installation wizard.

Step 6 From the PC, log in to the router using Telnet, and enter Enable mode.

Router> enable

Password:

Step 7 Enter the command erase flash:, and confirm. The router's IOS image, configuration file, and the

Cisco SDM files are removed from flash memory.

Step 8 Use the copy tftp command to copy the IOS image and the Cisco SDM files from the TFTP server to the

router:

copy tftp://tftp-server-address/filename flash:

Example:

Router# copy tftp://10.10.10.3/SDM.tar flash:

Note Copy the Cisco IOS image first, followed by the Cisco SDM files.

Step 9 Start your web browser, and reconnect to Cisco SDM, using the same IP address you used when you

started the session.

Now that an erase flash: operation has been performed on the router, you will be able to execute the

squeeze flash: command when necessary.

Security Alert Dialog May Remain After Cisco SDM Launches

When Cisco SDM is launched using HTTPS, a security alert dialog box that informs you of possible

security problems and asks you if you want to proceed with program launch may appear. This can happen

if the router does not have the following global configuration command in the running configuration:

ip http timeout-policy idle 600 life 86400 requests 10000
