Setup a Cisco CSR 1000v is not much different from i’ve explained with IOS-XRv. This product runs IOS-XE image which is great for my CCIE SP studies. I have in my lab 10 of them using 3.12S, this version has a major change regarding Licensing.
Evaluation Licenses—Cisco IOS XE 3.12S and Earlier
Prior to the Cisco IOS XE 3.13S release, the Cisco CSR 1000V came bundled with a 60-day evaluation license included with the software image, providing:
- Premium technology package features
- 50 Mbps maximum throughput
The license is activated by entering the license boot level command and rebooting the router.
When the 60-day evaluation license expires, the maximum throughput reverts to 2.5 Mbps and to the Standard feature set upon reload.
Evaluation Licenses—Cisco IOS XE 3.13S and Later
Beginning with the Cisco IOS XE 3.13S release, the CSR 1000V boots by default with the following features:
- AX technology package features
- 100 Kbps maximum throughput
Evaluation License Options
Evaluation licenses valid for 60 days are available at the Cisco licensing portal.
The evaluation license options enable test driving additional technology packages and higher throughputs. (The throughputs available through evaluation licenses are the highest supported throughput levels for the package type.)
- IPBase Technology package, 10 Gbps
- SEC Technology package, 5 Gbps
- APP Technology package, 5 Gbps
- AX Technology package, 2.5 Gbps
- 1000 broadband sessions
- 2 GB memory upgrade
Installation Process….
Configuration Options:
- small—Deploy CSR with: 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 3 vNICs
- medium—Deploy CSR with: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 3 vNICs
- large—Deploy CSR with: 4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 3 vNICs
- xlarge—Deploy CSR with: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 3 vNICs
Warning: After deployed, you may have to edit the .vmx file since you can edit it only using vSphere Web client.
