1- create a loopback adapter
2- drag a cloud and router




4- open a command promt and type ipconfig /all to see if the interface has an IP address if so get the ip address if the interface haven't got any IP address give it an IP address



1- give the router a name :hostname


username
example username xmt privilege 15 password cisco

crypto key generate rsa and Enter then Enter the key size the default is 512 but i enter 1024

5-now we trun the ssh to the version 2 maybe some ISO or routers don't support this command
ip ssh version 2

ip http server * up to you
ip http secure-server * you have to...


line vty 0 4 *check your iso you can configue up to 15 vty ports
trun on the login local database to verify the username and password
login local
transport input ssh telnet
if you don't want to allow telent don't include it in the line

8- first check the interfaces with the command
show ip interface brief

so we type
interface fastethernet 0/0
we give the interface an IP address in the same subnet of our loopback interface
ip address
example IP address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
this comand to trun the interface up

ping 10.0.0.2

now it's time to connect to our router using cisco security device manager

and click launch
internet explorer or any other default browser will popup it IE and this alert popup



maybe anther windows show up and ask you for username and password enter the user name that you configure example xmt cisco

now the cisco security device manager is loading
