Many screens within SDM allow you to perform different tasks, as described in the sections that follow.
Configuring Interfaces Using SDM
Starting from the home page, click Configure from the top line and then Interfaces and Connections on the category bar on the left side of the screen under the Tasks column. Here
you will be shown a screen link, as displayed in Figure 29-21.
Figure 29-21 Interfaces and Connections
To configure an interface that has not been previously configured, select the connection you
want to make and click the Create New Connection button. You are taken to a wizard screen that looks like Figure 29-22. For this example, you want to configure the other LAN interface on this router, GigabitEthernet 0/1. Choose the interface you want to configure, and then click Next.

Figure 29-23 shows the first screen of the wizard, which provides information about what the wizard will be able to accomplish. Click Next to continue to the next screen.
Figure 29-23 LAN Wizard
Figure 29-24 shows the next screen of the wizard. If you want this interface to be a gateway for a LAN, with no trunking involved, select the Configure this interface for straight routing option, and then click the Next button to continue.
Figure 29-24 LAN Wizard
In the next screen, shown in Figure 29-25, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface. Click Next to continue.
Figure 29-25 LAN Wizard: IP Address and Subnet Mask
After assigning the IP address and subnet mask, you are taken to the next screen of the wizard (shown in Figure 29-26), which asks whether you want to enable a DHCP server on this interface. The default answer is No. Click Next to continue.

Figure 29-27 shows the final screen of the wizard, where you see a summary of what you have configured. If you want to test the connectivity of the interface, check the box at the bottom of the screen, Test the connectivity after configuring, and click Finish, or just click Finish to send your changes to the router for implementation.
Figure 29-27 LAN Wizard: Summary
After the configuration is sent to the router, you are taken back to the Interfaces and Connections screen. If you want to make changes to your interfaces, choose the Edit Interface/Connection tab, highlight the interface you want to edit, and click the Edit button. Here you can makes changes to the address or subnet mask; you can also associate ACL or inspection rules to the interface. NAT and quality of service (QoS) options can also be edited from here.
Configuring Routing Using SDM
Starting from the SDM home page, Figure 29-28 shows the screen that appears when you click Configure from the top line and then Routing on the category bar on the left side of the screen under the Tasks column.
