I have not been able to make the SDM installation to communicate with the SDMRouter. I am able to ping the workstation, telnet to the SDMR from it, etc but still the installation can not find the SDMR.
Any suggestions?

@mad6431 ,I would suggest you to save your router configuration and then reload it.Also,use latest version of SDM and hit couple of times as SDM doesn’t always pick SDMrouter for first time.Alternatively,you may use Cisco Configuration Professional(CCP) for same purpose.
Hope this helps.Thanks!

The router sw I am using only has 8mb flash. I noticed yours has 16mb. Is it a particular router model or did you in some way modify the size of the flash?
Thanks.

@schunks, I believe you would have 16mb flash if you opt to use Cisco 3745 router model,the one i used in this tutoiral.If not, let me know.
