I was using Cisco 3745 with 12.4t IOS. with SDM and GNS3
But SDM says that VPN is not available in this IOS. So i want to know which router IOS will have that feature so that i can practice

tha_dub Member Posts: 262Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 12.3 and below were SDM and 12.4 and above was designed for Cisco Configuration Professional which is the upgrade to SDM. Are newer IOS versions backwards compatible with SDM?
A few other things to look at:
1) What java version are you running? SDM is known to be very finicky. I'm running java 5.0 update 17 which I had to downgrade to to get all the SDM features to work inlcuding VPN.
2) You said you have a 12.4 ios but what feature set does the IOS have? Check cisco feature navigator and verify that is supports vpn. if not you need to get one that does.

SDM works for the older 850/1700/2600/1800/2800 series routers (and others).
CCP works on the more recent 870/1800/2800/1900/2900 series routers (and others). You'd need to check the release notes for the full list.
Java versions are a bit hit and miss unfortunately. Under Windows 7 SP1, I'm running Java 6.0 update 11, this works for me and allows me to run either SDM or CCP. -

So the 1800's and 2800's are both older and more recent? -
