Article: How the Community Lab Works

shankarnaveen 1 post	17 Feb 2010 at 3:58 p.m. UTC Can I start Cisco Security Device Manager on the provided routers ? If so then how to go about it ? Thanks, M.Naveen
R_Bel 2 posts	8 Mar 2010 at 8:50 a.m. UTC The short answer is yes. That is provided that the platform is on the supported device list and the versions of IOS are recent, which they are AFAIK (and of course if the almighty Stretch permits it ;-) ). You can find more information here: Downloading and Installing Cisco Router and Security Device Manager. Just make sure to only use cisco for passwords and clear your config when you finish the lab.
stretch 258 posts	8 Mar 2010 at 3:40 p.m. UTC Actually the answer is no. The lab's topology is completely isolated from the Internet, which means SDM (which relies on HTTPS/SSH access) cannot be used. This may change in the future if enough donations are made to fund a dedicated Internet connection for the lab.
R_Bel 2 posts	8 Mar 2010 at 4:30 p.m. UTC I stand corrected. I assumed that SSH access to the Internet would be allowed. I guess it is true about assumption being the mother of all f**k-ups. :-/
