Anyone Know How to Get SDM(Security Device Manager) working????

Hi Folks!
This is the research I've done so far...........

Ok, I have a 2811 ISR with 2 FEports and a T-1 int.

It has the following on it:
rtr2811#show flash
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path
1 26738008 Jul 18 2006 05:05:04 +00:00 c2800nm-spservicesk9-mz.123-11.T10.bi
n
2 1823 Jul 18 2006 05:15:30 +00:00 sdmconfig-2811.cfg
3 4734464 Jul 18 2006 05:16:00 +00:00 sdm.tar
4 833024 Jul 18 2006 05:16:16 +00:00 es.tar
5 1052160 Jul 18 2006 05:16:34 +00:00 common.tar
6 1038 Jul 18 2006 05:16:46 +00:00 home.shtml
7 102400 Jul 18 2006 05:17:00 +00:00 home.tar
8 491213 Jul 18 2006 05:17:18 +00:00 128MB.sdf
So, according to the SDM doc, this is all correct. I do have the correct .tar files for SDM and My tftp server works, I have the ip addy 10.10.10.1 on the fe0/0 according to SDM docs, icmp works to my 10.10.10.2host. However, when I http://10.10.10.1 to the router...no go!
I have been all over Cisco's site and can't find the missing link. HELP!!!!!
Also, it seems that Cisco says two things about SDM: 1)It's a web based app; 2: You have to have a PC client. Not clear to me folks.
Thanks so much!!! I'll return the favor.....!!

I don't have my book with me, but at the end of my chapter 4 I discuss in detail how to get SDM working. Reread that section and see if that helps.
Cheers!

Hi Todd;
Thx for pointing that out! So, :) I just started looking at chp4 SDM cfg and I'll let you know how it goes. I do have a guest account on cisco.com as I do not qualitfy for the higher level access, however. The SDM docs seem to be contradictary in that they say SDM just uses IE www to access the daemon on the router. Then, somewhere else they say that you need a Win client stub on your host. Anyways, I'll get it down this weekend and post my results. This forum is invaluable and thanks so much!!!

Rgds,

Todd;
Yes, your chpt 4 got me in to the main page. It's been an hour since it's tried loading the pages, though. Hour glass is still indicating progress. Have FE 0/0 @ 100mbs, direct point2point connection to my laptop off net. No switch or hub in path....I'll have to monkey with it as it shouldn't take this long???.

Thx!!

I like running SDM on my PC, and then use the ip address of the router..

try it that way, and it saves space on your router's flash.

just install it using the wizard and set the option for this PC only, then make sure you have ip http server and ip http server secure command.


then click on SDM and choose the ip address.. (make sure your computer can reach that ip address)


but your problem may be now, that you dont have the commands ip http-server and ip http-server secure

I have the same problem with running it in Vista. XP works though.
