Hi,

Do the following:

router# erase nvram:

router#reload

Hi Amit,

This did clear the config back to default, but what I really need is the default SDM configuration that is sitting in flash. How do I copy this config from flash to NVRAM?

Here is my flash directory:

Router#show flash

-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path

I have not had to do this so can not speak from experience. But it looks to me like the file is flash: sdmconfig-18xx.cfg is what you need. When you erased nvram you left the router with a very empty config - including no SDM. I believe that this file from flash will have the SDM config that you need.

Try using command,

Copy flash:SDM_Backup startup-config
