Re : Cisco newbie

[blackberry1980]

I am very new to the world of cisco and need some help in trying to configure a cisco 837 router. I cannot seem to be able to access the router through the sdm. Here is a runnning configuration. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Please post sh ver. You might be running a version that doesn't support SDM.

To access your router, you need a login ID and password. Try:

router>en
router#conf t
router(config)#username myname priv 15 secret whatever
router(config)#service password-encryption

This will give you a logon ID of myname and a password of whatever. When SDM comes up, it will ask for a logon ID and password.

Blackberry,

First, it looks like the Ethernet port that you would connect to with SDM is shutdown

try -
router# interface ethernet0
Router(interface)# no shutdown

This should bring the interface 10.10.10.1 back up, reading the startup guide linked to below, that is the address you put in for SDM, you might want to read the guide below, it is about 8 pages -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/800/837/hardware/quick/guide/837qsg.html

Hope this helps!

Good catch, Gene. I missed the "shutdown" in the e0 config.

That said, SDM still wants a logon ID and password.

Hi

Thanks for the replies guys. I have done the no shutdown and can now ping the ethernet 0 port. When i try to browse to the sdm, it doesnt ask me for a username and pass, but shows me a page displaying sdm and
Browser: Internet Explorer 7.0
Java: Enabled
and another text document pops up, but no gui as yet.

im using the ffg version :

[CiscoGuy33]

Blackberry,

Follow the link I listed, it has some info on SDM and CRWS that was loaded on some of these routers. The SDM link there did not work -

You can find more on SDM here -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps5318/index.html

In fact, you should be able to download a version for your computer and install it there and then contact the 837 from it in case SDM is nolonger loaded - it should also have instructions for putting SDM back on the router. SDM is free as far as I understand.

Do a Show flash and you will see if SDM or what is loaded on this router!!

Hope this helps!

Blackberry,

Here is the download page for SDM -

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

And a good article at Network World - "Free Easy Cisco Security Setup with SDM" -

http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/15180

Once again, hope this helps!

[gerrymchugh]

Also, check the version of Java you are running - I had similar problem with that IOS version. I had to downgrade to Java 1.4 or Microsoft Java (no longer available) to get the SDM GUI to open for me.

 

[silverhairb]

Gene,

I don't think its necessary to load SDM onto the router to get it working.

SDM does REQUIRE a logon ID and password (at least the versions I've used).

Berries,

What is the address of your PC? If its not on the 10.10.10.0 network (mask 255.255.255.0) you might not be able to connect even if everything is set up correctly.

You might also check to see of CRWS is in the router. To do this you must do the following:

router>en
router#conf t
router(config)#ip http server
router(config)#ip http secure-server
router(config)#ip http authentication local

Make sure your PC address is on the 10.10.10.0 network with a mask of 255.255.255.0. If not, manually set your PC address for 10.10.10.85 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. Then point your browser to 10.10.10.1. If CRWS is alive, it will come up. If not, it won't.

THT,

[blackberry1980]

Thanks again for the responses. Ok ive tried to browse to the router address 10.10.10.1 and it pops up with a screen saying 'loading cisco router web setup' and just hangs there. I am able to get to the address of the router with my static ip and can ping it. any ideas ?

 

[burtsbees]

Post the full sh run...you need
ip http server
username bla priv 15 pass blabla

Burt

 

[silverhairb]

The IOS version you're using is syched to 12.3(1.6)T. The minimum IOS required to run SDM is 12.3(2)T. You might not have SDM support in the router.

CRWS might be your only option for GUI setup short of upgrading IOS. It takes a while for CRWS to load. It also doesn't work with all browsers. IIRC, CWRS doesn't particularly like IE7. Might look around for an earlier version of Netscape browser or see if you can "upgrade" to an earlier version of IE.


[the other] Bill

 

[CiscoGuy33]

Blackberry,

See what Gerry listed above about Java, you also might want to try connecting with Firefox.

Do a show flash - what version of SDM do you have? 2.5 is the latest, greatest!!

I remember years ago people in class had issues connecting with Windows XP, 98 worked GREAT on the Cisco 831's they had, might be an issue with an older version of SDM, have you downloaded the SDM Instruction book pdf - might have some information in it about known issues!!

Is this something you just got on Ebay, or have had for a while? Like I said- check what version of SDM the router has, show flash should tell you!

Just a thought!

Blackberry,

Just post your show run and show flash and it will tell us a lot of what we need to know to help!

I bought this router with intent of learning about cisco, I have worked on other networking brands except for cisco, so im trying to fill in a large gap here and this is the start for me i guess.

 

[blackberry1980]

ok ok i managed to get into the router through cwrs with your help of course!
The problem was that my i.e was version 8, so i tried firefox and this got me in straight away!

Thanks alot for all of your help, this is quite a neat forum!

Hi there,

I have the same problem, however, it doesn't work with firefox neither.
I tried every imaginable browser around, I even tried to install Netscap 4.7.. I think it's related to the version of Java that is being used by the browser..
I can access the telnet page but I don't know the username and the password.'..
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thx,
Dan

...it doesn't work with firefox neither. "

So it does work?

Please don't hijack---start your own thread.,

Hi ,

Sorry, I doid not mean to hijack.. I wanted to show that the initial poster is not alone.

Here is what I did:
a. I found this

http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE

which allows multiple versions off IE to coexist. I installed only IE 5.5 and 6.0
b. I found the Micorosft JVM here:

http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html

and installed it
c. disbled in the browser the support for SUN Java.
d. enabled Microsoft JVM
e. restarted the browser(s)

and it worked!

Hope this helps other people too.
Cheers!
