Tiivistelmä
Nowadays Cisco routers are mainly configured with CLI (Command Line Interface). However, Cisco offers some GUI (Graphical User Interface) management tools like SDM (Security Device Manager) and CNA (Cisco Network Assistant). Although these are not widely used at this time, it tends to be familiar by all network managers, especially for the use of SDM, which is introduced in great details on CCNP and CCNA Security courses.
SDM is a Web-based device-management tool for Cisco routers that can improve the productivity of network managers, simplify router deployments, and help troubleshoot complex network and VPN connectivity issues.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a computer network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure such as the Internet to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. Its aim is to avoid an expensive system of leased lines that can be used by only one organization.
The aim of my study is to get familiar with the GUI tool SDM and try to use it to establish a Virtual Private Network. Finally, I compared the difference between SDM and the original configuration by command line interface and gave my recommendation.
