Chapter14 Configuring Support for Management Using the REST API
Enabling REST API Support Using the Cisco IOS XE CLI
Configuring HTTPS Support for the REST API Using the Cisco IOS XE CLI
The Cisco CSR 1000V REST API requires HTTPS server support. Beginning with Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.11S, HTTPS server support is enabled by default and no additional configuration is required.
However, if using Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S, you must manually configure HTTPS support for the
REST API in the following situations:
•If you did not specify the Enable HTTPS Server option when deploying the OVA.
•If you installed the Cisco CSR 1000V using the .iso file.
Note The HTTPS session must have an identity certificate. For more information, see the “HTTPS-HTTP
Server and Client with SSL 3.0” section of the HTTP Services Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE
Release 3S.
