A. By default, Security Manager connects to Cisco IOS routers using SSL. However, a device running IOS version 12.3 or later without a K8 or K9 crypto image will not be able to support SSL. Therefore, after you add the device to Security Manager, you must select Tools > Device Properties, then change the default transport protocol to Telnet.
