EOL for Cisco SDM

SephStorm

I was going to post this in the cisco forums, but I don't think SDM is specific to one Cisco certification.

Cisco Security Device Manager(SDM) is being End of Life'ed. This product was covered on the Cisco ICND1 and possibly ICND2 exams at the least. Will there be any immediate or near term changes to these exams? Will effect your business at all?

SDM will now be replaced by Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP). A copy of the latest version CCP 2.1 is available for a free download from www.cisco.com/go/ciscocp.

CCP incorporates all the functionality of SDM and has added support for the following:

Ø Additional security feature configurations like GETVPN
Ø Wireless
Ø Unified Communications (CME, CUE, SRST, CME as SRST)
Ø New interfaces such as 3G
Ø The new ISR G2 routers
Ø We will also continue to enhance existing security features in CCP in future releases
