Cisco SDM may be installed on your router, or you may have received a CD that
you can use to install Cisco SDM on your PC or on your router. If you
downloaded Cisco SDM from Cisco.com, you can use the setup program to install
Cisco SDM on your PC or on your router.
To start Cisco SDM, click Cisco SDM in the Tools menu.
Cisco Network Services
If your service provider has provided you Cisco Network Services server
information, choose this option. When you choose this option, the
Cisco SDM Express wizard collects information about your Cisco Network
Services server and then displays the WAN configuration windows so that you
can configure the WAN connection that will connect to the Cisco Network
Services server and obtain the configuration. If your service provider has not
provided Cisco Network Services server information, or you want to configure the
router using Cisco SDM Express, do not select this option.
You will not be able to use Cisco Network Services if:
• Your router has no installed WAN interfaces, or the router has a WAN
interface that Cisco SDM Express does not support. Cisco SDM Express
must be able to configure a WAN interface in order for the router to obtain
the Cisco Network Services configuration file. If Cisco SDM Express
determines that it cannot configure a WAN interface, it will display an error
message informing you that you cannot use Cisco Network Services. If there
are no WAN interfaces installed on the router, and you still want to use Cisco
Network Services, click Cancel to leave the Startup wizard, and close
Cisco SDM Express. Then, install a WAN interface card supported by
Cisco SDM Express, restart Cisco SDM Express, and select CNS Server
(Cisco Network Services server) in the Startup wizard.
For a list of supported interface cards, see the Cisco SDM Release Notes on:

• You did not select this option, and configured a LAN and a WAN interface
using Cisco SDM Express, and then returned to the Router Provisioning
window and selected CNS Server. If you want to use Cisco Network
Services, click Cancel to leave the Startup wizard and close
Cisco SDM Express. Then restart Cisco SDM Express and select CNS
Server in the Router Provisioning window.
