Enter the following command in global configuration mode: Enter the end command to leave configuration mode: SDM files are contained in a .zip file that is available on Cisco.com. In the directory to which you extracted the contents of the sdm-vnn.zip file, double-click the setup.exe file. The Welcome screen ( Figure 1) appears. 
Click Next to display the License screen, accept the license agreement terms, and click Next to continue. When the Install Options screen ( Figure 2) appears, specify where you want to install SDM. You can install the SDM files on your PC, on your router, or on both your PC and the router. 
If you choose This Computer the SDM files are installed in the directory that you specify, and installation ends. Installing SDM on the PC saves router memory, and allows you to use SDM to manage other routers on the network. If you choose Cisco Router, you are prompted to log in to the router, as shown in Figure 3. 
When the installation program contacts your router, the Flash Installation Options screen ( Figure 4) appears. Choosing Typical causes the installation program to check the router capabilities and install the appropriate SDM components for the router. Choosing Custom lets you choose the components that you want to install. 
On the Select Cisco SDM Components screen ( Figure 5), review the components to be installed. The Space Required on flash: field shows how much memory is required to be able to install the checked components. This field is updated dynamically when you change a selection. The Space Available on flash field displays the total amount of flash available on the router. 
Make your choices and click Next. A message is displayed if the space required exceeds the space available on flash memory, and you must return to this screen and uncheck components. It is not necessary to install Cisco SDM Express unless you plan to discard the running configuration and reconfigure the router anew at some future time. This program is used for initial configurations and is not essential for a router that is already in use. Click Install to start the installation. 
When the components are installed, the Wizard Complete screen appears. See Figure 7. 
If you want to start SDM when you dismiss the wizard click Launch Cisco SDM. Click Finish to dismiss the wizard. Start SDM using one of these methods: If you installed SDM on the router, start it by opening a browser and entering the IP address of your router. If you installed SDM on the PC, start it by double-clicking the SDM shortcut, or by selecting it from the program menu (Start > Programs > Cisco Systems > Cisco SDM). When the SDM Launcher window appears ( Figure 8), enter the IP address of the router. 
If you are using Internet Explorer on a PC running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, and Internet Explorer displays a message telling you that it has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer, choose Internet Options > Advanced from the Tools menu, and check Allow active content to run in files on my computer. Then click Apply, and relaunch SDM. Enter the username and password of the level 15 user you configured in Task 3. When certificate windows appear, click Yes or click Grant to accept the certificates.
