Is there any particular reason you don't want to study this chapter?Hi Guys ! I study this chapter of CCNA. I should study about that?
I skipped it. My justification was that I already was familiar with SDM from configuring IPSec tunnels with it in the past, and it wasn't a very useful skill for the sorts of roles I was considering. I was okay with being docked some points, because I was confident in my knowledge of the other topics. I similarly barely studied ATM for the MPLS exam. -

Read over the objectives in the book and you'll be okay. SDM is one of the easiest topics, in my opinion. Though, if you've never worked on a router/switch you may benefit from labbing how to set it up.2017 Certification Goals:

If you're asking...
Should I study SDM? Yes. You should know your way around it.
How do I study SDM?
1. Simulators can run the SDM without installing.
2. Looking for the program: Cisco Router and Security Device Manager Install and Upgrade - Cisco SystemsIn order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

As long as you're familiar with how to configure things via the CLI, poking your way around the SDM is pretty simple. Honestly, I wouldn't spend a significant amount of time learning about it. There are a few quick videos on YouTube you could watch just to familiarize yourself with the way it looks but it's a pretty standard interface.
