Hi,

On a brief note,

Cisco ConfigMaker doesn't support or will not support any new routers.
There are no plans to add any new features.

SDM is the one you need to consider. SDM is used to manage/configure one
single router. You cannot design networks as in Cisco ConfigMaker.

SDM is available for free download. But your router need to have enough
flash to accomodate it.
