Obtaining the Cisco CSR 1000V Software

Where to Go Next

Introduction

Cisco hardware routers are normally shipped with the Cisco IOS XE software pre-installed. Because the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router is not hardware-based, you must download the Cisco IOS XE software from Cisco.com and install it directly onto the virtual machine. However, as part of the initial installation process, you must first provision the attributes of the VM so that the

Cisco CSR 1000V software can install and boot.

Note This document does not provide procedures for deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V in an Amazon Web Services environment. For more information, see the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Deployment Guide for Amazon Web Services.

Figure 3-1shows the high-level tasks required to install the Cisco CSR 1000V on the VM. The different installation options are dependent on the hypervisor being used. See the following sections for more information.
