Introduction
You can use the REST API to manage the Cisco CSR 1000V as an alternative to configuring and
managing selected features on the router using the Cisco IOS XE CLI. This chapter describes how to
configure the Cisco CSR 1000V to enable management using the REST API. For detailed information
about using the REST API, see the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router REST API
Management Reference Guide.
Enabling REST API Support During Cisco CSR 1000V OVA
Deployment
If you are deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V OVA template, support for REST API is configured in the
Bootstrap Properties screen of the OVA Wizard. The required fields are different depending on the
Cisco IOS XE release. Table14-1 and Table 14-2 list the fields required to enable REST API support
when deploying the OVA template.
For more information on deploying the OVA template, see the “Deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V OVA
Template to the VM” section on page4-10.
