Deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V Software Using the Cisco Build, Deploy, Execute OVF Tool

The Cisco Build, Deploy, Execute OVF (BDEO) tool included in the Cisco CSR 1000V software package is a Linux-based application that enables you to create attributes for one or more VMs and quickly deploy the VMs with the cloud services router software pre-installed. This tool can speed the process of deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V on multiple VMs.

The BDEO tool provides a simple command-line interface to enter the VM attributes into the .ova file. The BDEO tool can be run either in a LINUX shell or on Solaris, and VMware ovftools must be installed.

Note The BDEO tool is provided without official Cisco support and is to be used at your risk.
