Configuring switch to run SDM
Follow the instructions below to configure a switch to run SDM.
Step 1:
Connect to your switch using Telnet, SSH or via console.
Enter the global configuration mode using the command:
Router>enable
Router#conf terminal
Router(config)#
Step 2 :
Enable the router's HTTP/HTTPS server, using the following Cisco IOS commands:
Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
Note:- HTTPS is enabled only for crypto enabled IOS images.
Step 3:
Create a user with privilege level 15.
Router(config)#aaa new-model
Router(config)#aaa authentication login default local
Router(config)# username <username> privilege 15 password 0 <password>
Note:- Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password that you want to configure.
Step 4:
Configure SSH and Telnet for local login and privilege level 15:
Router(config)# line vty 1 15
Router(config-line)# privilege level 15
Router(config-line)# login authentication default
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet
Router(config-line)# exit
Step 5: (Optional)
Enable local logging to support the log monitoring function:
Router(config)# logging buffered 51200 warning
