How to configure SDM with Dynamips

Hello gears,

I installed SDM engine today in order to prepare myself for ISCW test.

I searched the web about howto’s but I never found what I needed. Hope that tutorial can help someone else.

Steps :

• Configure an ip address on a router interface and enable it. This interface must be fast/ethernet type.
  • Ex :
  • Router#conf t
  • Router(config)#ip http secure-server (Some keys should be generated…)
  • Router(config)#interface fastethernet0/0
  • Router(config-int)#ip address 172.16.0.2
  • Router(config-int)#duplex full
  • Router(config-int)#no shut
• Install a loopback adaptater on your pc : You can follow the following article for this Link.
• Run the “Network device list” batch from Dynamips folder and gather the hardware reference for your network adaptater.
• Edit you .net file and add the following statement
  • F0/0 = NIO_gen_eth:DeviceNPF_{ ** your nic reference **}
• Modify the new Windows network connection and assign it a static ip address such as 172.16.0.1/24.
• Run your .net file and try to ping from both sides : Router->PC and PC->Router
• Install SDM engine on your PC. I’m currently using the version 2.4.1. You may need to allow activex, you can trust them.
• Use the ip address you defined on the router and enter it into SDM. 172.16.0.2 in our case.
• You will be prompted for a username and a password. You have to define it into router configuration. Below is an example.
  • Router(config)#usernmame sdm priv 15 password sdmlab

Cheers and Enjoy !
