Preferences

This screen lets you configure the following Cisco Router and Security Device Manager options:

Preview commands before delivering to router

Choose this option if you want SDM to display a list of the Cisco IOS configuration commands generated before the commands are sent to the router.

Save signature file to Flash

Choose this option if you want the signature definition file (SDF) that you are working on to be saved to router flash when you click Apply Changes.

Confirm before exiting SDM

This is SDM default behavior. Select this option if you would like SDM to display a dialog box asking for confirmation when you exit SDM.

Continue monitoring interface status when switching mode/task

This is SDM default behavior. SDM begins monitoring interface status when you click Monitor and select Interface status. To have SDM continue monitoring the interface even if you leave Monitor mode and perform other tasks in SDM, select this check box and specify the maximum number of interfaces you want SDM to monitor. The default maximum number of interfaces to monitor is 4.
