Cisco Configuration Professional is the new device manager for the ISRs and will replace SDM (Cisco Router and Security Device Manager) over time.
Like SDM, Cisco Configuration Professional assumes a general understanding of networking technologies and terms but assists individuals unfamiliar with the Cisco CLI.
Over time Cisco Configuration Professional functionality will expand to include more voice features and other technologies...
Cisco customers and partners who want to configure the router out of the box can use Cisco Configuration Professional Express.
Cisco Configuration Professional Express is a GUI tool that is embedded in the flash of the router. This tool helps Cisco partners and customers with out-of-the-box configuration of access router LAN/WAN interfaces and minimal Cisco IOS Software security features.
