SDM

Cisco SDM java support

I posted earlier about which version of Java to run the Cisco SDM. I have some new info about this. While the SDM WILL run with any version of Java 5, it only actually supports Java 5 update 9. Any later updates could cause issues.

Java 6 update 13 not supported by Cisco Configuration Professional

I was using the CCP to setup a Cisco 881 router and it told me to go install the newest version of Java. So thats what i did, Java 6 update 13, and guess what, it didn’t work.

In fact I had to go all the way down to java 5 update 17 to get the CCP to actually let me configure the router. Now here is the issue, if your product only has support up to java 5, then don’t tell me to install the newest version of Java, tell me to go install Java 5!
