Step 8
Under Network Mapping, allocate one or more virtual network interface card (vNIC) on the destination network using
the drop-down list. The options for mapping the vNICs differ depending on the release version:
•
(Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S and later, and IOS XE Denali 16.2 and later): Select the network mappings for the
3 default vNICs created during the OVA deployment. You can choose which vNIC will map to the router’s
management interface when setting the bootstrap properties (see table "Bootstrap Properties for Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.11S and Later" below).
•
(Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and earlier) The vNIC allocated in this step is mapped to the GigabitEthernet0
management interface on the router.
Select the vNIC to connect at Power On. Click Next.
When the Cisco CSR 1000v installation using the OVA is complete, two additional vNICS are allocated. The Cisco CSR
1000v supports up to ten vNICs; additional vNICs must be manually created on the VM.
The Properties screen displays.
Step 9
Configure the properties for the VM.
The available properties differ depending on the Cisco IOS XE release that you are using. See the tables below for the
OVA bootstrap properties for the relevant release of Cisco IOS XE.
The bootstrap properties are optional when creating the VM. You can set these properties to easily provision
the VM before starting it up.
