Chapter4 Installing the Cisco CSR 1000V in VMware ESXi Environments
Deploying the Cisco CSR 1000V OVA Template to the VM
If the VM was manually created from the .iso file, then the vSphere GUI will not provide options to set
basic router properties. However, you can still set custom properties as described in the “Adding Custom
Properties for the Cisco CSR 1000V” section on page4-19. If you wish t o do so, you will need to add a
second virtual CD/DVD drive to the VM for vCenter to pass these properties into the VM.
To edit the vApp options to set basic Cisco CSR 1000V properties, do the following:
Step1 In the vSphere GUI, select the Options tab.
Step2 Choose vApp Options > Properties.
See Figure 4-1.
Figure4-1 vApp Advanced Options for Cisco CSR 1000V
Step3 Click on the Properties button.
A new window opens that provides access to the properties that can be edited. The properties shown are
the basic properties. See Figure 4-2.
Note These properties can also be set using selected steps of the procedure described in the “Deploying the
OVA Template to the VM” section on page4-10.
