Using the Cisco IOS Startup Sequence
Step 4
At the prompt, enter the enable command. The default configuration file does not configure an enable
password:
yourname> enable
yourname#
Step 5
Enter the erase startup-config command:
yourname# erase startup-config
Step 6
Confirm the command by pressing Enter.
Step 7
Enter the reload command:
yourname# reload
Step 8
Confirm the command by pressing Enter.
The router begins executing the standard startup sequence. If you want to use SDM to perform
subsequent configurations for the router, you must reconfigure the router manually to support web-based
applications, and the Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) protocols. You must also create a user account with
a privilege level of 15. See the
“Enabling SDM on a Router Configured to Use the IOS Startup
Sequence” section on page 9 for information on doing this.
Enabling SDM on a Router Configured to Use the IOS Startup Sequence
If you erased the factory startup configuration to use the IOS startup sequence, you can still use SDM.
To do so, you must configure the router to support web-based applications, configure it with a user
account defined with privilege level 15, and then configure it to support the Telnet and SSH protocols.
These changes can be made using a telnet session or using a console connection.
Configuring the Router to Support Web-Based Applications, a User with Priv 15, and Telnet/SSH
Step 1
Enable the HTTP/HTTPS server on the router, using the following Cisco IOS commands in the global
configuration mode:
Router(config)#ip http server
Router(config)#ip http secure-server
Router(config)#ip http authentication local
If the router uses an IPSec IOS image, the HTTPS server is enabled. Otherwise only the HTTP server is
enabled.
Step 2
Create a user account with privilege level 15 (enable privileges, if necessary).
Router(config)#username <username> privilege 15 password 0 <password>
Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password of your choosing.
Step 3
Configure SSH and Telnet for local login and privilege level 15:
line vty 0 4
privilege level 15
login local
transport input telnet
transport input telnet ssh
