Task 1: Install Interface Cards, and Cable the Router
Task 1: Install Interface Cards, and Cable the Router
Before SDM can be used to configure the router, you must install all the necessary hardware accessories
that are applicable to your router, such as WAN interface cards (WICs), network modules (NMs), or
advanced interface module (AIM) cards that you will use to connect to the network. Refer to the quick
start guide for your router for instructions on installing these interface cards, cabling the router, and
verifying that all the connections are working properly.
Task 2: Configure Your PC, and Connect It to the Router
You have to set up the PC to communicate with SDM. SDM is shipped with a default configuration file
that assigns an IP address to a LAN interface on the router, and you must configure the PC to be on the
same subnet as the router LAN interface.
First determine whether your router is configured as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server or not.
Is Your Router Configured as a DHCP Server?
If you have one of the routers listed in Table 1 on page 3, the router is configured as a DHCP server.
Configure the PC to obtain an IP address and a Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address
automatically, as shown in Figure 1. Connect the Ethernet port on the PC with the router port shown in
Table 1.
If you do not find your router model in Table 1, look for the router model you are setting up in Table 2
on page 4 in the section “These Routers Are Not Configured as DHCP Servers.”
