Introduction

The Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router provides a cloud-based router that is deployed on a virtual machine (VM) instance on x86 server hardware. The Cisco CSR 1000V provides selected Cisco IOS XE features on a virtualization platform.

When the Cisco CSR 1000V virtual IOS XE software is deployed on a VM, the Cisco IOS XE software functions just as if it were deployed on a traditional Cisco hardware platform. The Cisco CSR 1000V includes a virtual Route Processor and a virtual Forwarding Processor (FP) as part of its architecture. The Cisco CSR 1000V supports a subset of Cisco IOS XE software features and technologies. For more information, see the “Supported Cisco IOS XE Technologies” section on page 1-13.

The Cisco CSR 1000V provides secure connectivity from the enterprise premise (such as a branch office or data center) to the public or private cloud.

Figure 1-1 shows the basic virtual form factor for the Cisco CSR 1000V. The Cisco CSR 1000V is deployed as a virtual machine on a hypervisor. Optionally, you can use a virtual switch (vSwitch), depending on your deployment. You can use selected Cisco equipment for some components. The supported components will depend on your software release.

Introduction

Figure 1-1 Cisco CSR 1000V Virtual Form Factor

Benefits of Virtualization Using the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router

The Cisco CSR 1000V Series uses the benefits of virtualization in the cloud to provide the following:

Hardware independence

Because the Cisco CSR 1000V runs on a virtual machine, it can be supported on any x86 hardware that the virtualization platform supports.

Sharing of resources

The resources used by the Cisco CSR 1000V are managed by the hypervisor, and resources can be shared among VMs. The amount of hardware resources that the VM server allocates to a specific VM can be reallocated to another VM on the server.

Flexibility in deployment

You can easily move a VM from one server to another. Thus, you can move the Cisco CSR 1000V from a server in one physical location to a server in another physical location without moving any hardware resources.

Software Configuration and Management Using the Cisco IOS XE CLI

You can perform software configuration and management of the Cisco CSR 1000V using the following methods:

Provision a serial port in the VM and connect to access the Cisco IOS XE CLI commands.

Use the VM console or the console on the virtual serial port to access the Cisco IOS XE CLI commands.

Chapter 1 Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Overview

Virtual Machine Requirements

Note A serial port can be used to manage a Cisco CSR 1000V VM only if the underlying hypervisor supports associating a serial port with a VM. For example, the Citrix XenServer environment does not support serial port association. See your hypervisor documentation for details.

Use remote SSH/Telnet to access the Cisco IOS XE CLI commands.

The Cisco CSR 1000V also supports management and configuration using the following products:

Cisco CSR 1000V REST API

Cisco Prime Network Services Controller

For more information, see the “Management Support” section on page 1-20.

Router Interfaces

The Cisco CSR 1000V router interfaces perform the same functionality as those on hardware-based Cisco routers. The Cisco CSR 1000V interfaces function as follows:

Interfaces are logically named as the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces.

The available interface numbering depends on the Cisco CSR 1000V version. (Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S and later) The interface numbering is as follows:

Interface port numbering is from 1 and up to the number of interfaces supported.

GigabitEthernet interface 0 is no longer supported beginning with this release.

You can designate any interface as the management interface. You can change the management interface when deploying the OVA template on first-time installation.

(Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S and earlier) The interface numbering is as follows:

Interface port numbering is from 0 and up to the number of interfaces supported.

Gigabit Ethernet interface 0 is reserved for the management interface used for obtaining the licenses and upgrading software.

At first boot, the Cisco CSR 1000V router interfaces are mapped to the vNIC interfaces on the VM based on the vNIC enumeration to the Cisco CSR 1000V; on subsequent boot, the Cisco CSR 1000V router interfaces are mapped to the vNIC MAC address

Caution If upgrading to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S from an earlier release, Cisco recommends you update your configuration to remove the GigabitEthernet 0 management interface before upgrading. Because the GigabitEthernet 0 interface is no longer supported beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S, you will receive system errors if the upgraded configuration includes this interface.

For more information, see the “Mapping Cisco CSR 1000V Network Interfaces to VM Network Interfaces” section on page 10-1.

Virtual Machine Requirements

The Cisco CSR 1000V runs only on a virtual machine. This section describes the virtual machine requirements for the router.

Hypervisor Support

Server Requirements

Virtual Machines

A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a computing environment in which an operating system (OS) or program can be installed and run. The VM typically emulates a physical computing environment, but requests for CPU, memory, hard disk, network and other hardware resources are managed by a virtualization layer which translates these requests to the underlying physical hardware.

You can deploy an Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) file. The OVA file package simplifies the process of deploying a VM by providing a complete definition of the parameters and resource allocation requirements for the new VM.

An OVA file consists of a descriptor (.ovf) file, a storage (.vmdk) file and a manifest (.mf) file.

ovf file—Descriptor file which is an xml file with extension .ovf which consists of all the metadata about the package. It encodes all the product details, virtual hardware requirements and licensing.

vmdk file—File format that encodes a single virtual disk from a VM.

mf file—Optional file that stores the SHA key generated during packaging.

You can also install the Cisco CSR 1000V using an .iso file and manually create the VM in the hypervisor.

For more information, see the “Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Overview” section on page 1-1.

Hypervisor Support

A hypervisor enables multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host machine. While each operating system appears to have the dedicated use of the host's processor, memory, and other resources; the hypervisor controls and allocates only needed resources to each operating system and ensures that the operating systems (VMs) do not disrupt each other.

The Cisco CSR 1000V is supported for installation on selected hypervisors. The following table lists the supported hypervisor versions for your software release.

Note Beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S, the Cisco CSR 1000V can also be deployed on Cisco Amazon Web Services. For more information, see the Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Deployment Guide for Amazon Web Services.

Hypervisor vNIC Requirements

Depending on the Cisco CSR 1000V release version, each of the hypervisors supports different virtual network interface card (vNIC) types. The Cisco CSR 1000V also supports a different maximum number of vNICs depending on the hypervisor. Some versions and hypervisors also support the ability to add and remove vNICs without powering down the VM. This feature is known as vNIC Hot Add/Remove.

The following table lists the supported vNICs and the minimum and maximum number of vNICs supported for each VM instance.

Cisco CSR 1000V and Hypervisor Limitations

This section describes performance limitations due to how the Cisco CSR 1000V integrates with the supported hypervisors.

Cisco CSR 1000V and Hypervisor Limitations for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.12S

When the Cisco CSR 1000V is installed on Microsoft Hyper-V, the interface numbers can change after Microsoft Hyper-V fails over to a new server, or restarts after a live migration.

If the server is set to perform ungraceful failover, there is no workaround.

If the server is set to perform graceful failover or restart, enter the clear platform software vnic-if nvtable command before executing the failover or restart.

This issue is not seen if the maximum number of interfaces is configured.

When the Cisco CSR 1000V is installed on Microsoft Hyper-V, if you want to configure a VLAN, you must configure the VLAN interfaces on Microsoft Hyper-V using the Hyper-V Power Shell CLI.

When the Cisco CSR 1000V is installed on Microsoft Hyper-V and an NSF-based virtual hard disk is used, if there is a network connectivity issue between the Cisco CSR 1000V and the NSF server, the Cisco CSR 1000V is unable to use the virtual hard disk even if the network connection is restored. You must reboot the Cisco CSR 1000V to restore access to the virtual hard disk.

Cisco CSR 1000V and Hypervisor Limitations for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S

Configuring Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), or Application Visibility and Control (AVC) support on the Cisco CSR 1000V requires a minimum of 4GB of DRAM on the VM, even when using the one vCPU configuration on the VM.

On the Cisco CSR 1000V, all the NICs are logically named as the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The Cisco CSR 1000V does support the 10G IXGBE vNIC in passthrough mode; but that interface also is also logically named as a Gigabit Ethernet interface. Note that with emulated devices like VMXNET3/PV/VIRTIO from the hypervisor, the Cisco CSR 1000V is not aware of the underlying interfaces. The vSwitch may be connected to a 10-GB physical NIC or 1-GB physical NICs or multiple NICs (with NIC teaming on the hypervisor) as well.

The Cisco CSR 1000V supports an MTU range from 1500 to 9216 bytes. However, the maximum MTU supported on your hypervisor version may be lower. The MTU value configured on the Cisco CSR 1000V should not exceed the maximum MTU value supported on the hypervisor.

Cisco CSR 1000V and Hypervisor Limitations for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S

The following are the Cisco CSR 1000V and VMware ESXi limitations for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9S:

The Cisco CSR 1000V interface bandwidth defaults to 1 GB, irrespective of the hypervisor’s physical NIC bandwidth. The routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP) use the Cisco CSR 1000V interface bandwidth values for calculating the costs, not the physical NIC bandwidth.

OL-27477-07

Chapter 1 Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Overview

Cisco CSR 1000V Series Software License Overview

When a Cisco CSR 1000V interface is directly connected to a physical router, and that physical router’s connecting interface goes down, the change is not reflected on the Cisco CSR 1000V. This is because the Cisco CSR 1000V is actually connected to the hypervisor’s vSwitch and the vSwitch uplink port is connected to the physical interface of the router. This behavior is expected.

The Cisco CSR 1000V provides an MTU range from 1500 to 9216 bytes. However, ESXi 5.0 supports only a maximum value of 9000 bytes.

Cisco CSR 1000V Series Software License Overview

The Cisco CSR 1000V Series software supports the standard Cisco software licensing process in Cisco IOS XE. The software activation process is similar to other Cisco router products, but there are some differences and additional requirements.

The Cisco CSR 1000V supports the following license types depending on the software release:

1.Available for the Premium package only. The additional memory is allocated to IOSD processes on the router only. The memory upgrade license does not add available memory on the VM.

The supported performance indicates the maximum throughput supported by the Cisco CSR 1000V for the license. If the throughput exceeds the supported performance, the router may experience dropped packets and you will receive notification that the supported performance has been exceeded. The Cisco CSR 1000V uses a performance limiter to regulate the throughput level. For more information, see the “License-Based Restriction on Aggregate Bandwidth” section on page 13-6.

If additional performance is required, an additional license for a separate Cisco CSR 1000V VM must be purchased. The Cisco CSR 1000V supports only one router instance per VM.

The Cisco CSR 1000V software licenses operate as follows:

Each software license can be used for only one VM.

You can install more than one license on a VM, but the multiple licenses can only apply to that VM.

1-10

OL-27477-07

Chapter 1 Cisco CSR 1000V Series Cloud Services Router Overview

Cisco CSR 1000V Series Software License Overview

Similar to other Cisco hardware products, the software license is node-locked to the unique device identifier (UDI) of that product. The Cisco CSR 1000V generates a Virtual UDI (vUDI) when first installed on the VM, and licenses are node-locked to that vUDI. One license per VM instance is required. Instances that are cloned from a repository must generate a new vUDI.

Note When you clone the Cisco CSR 1000V, you will automatically get a new vUDI, and all the licenses from the original VM should be removed.

You must purchase and install a new technology level license if you want to upgrade or downgrade the technology level. For example, if you have a Premium technology package license and you want to downgrade to the Standard technology package, you must purchase a new Standard technology package license.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S, the default license will not enable advanced IPsec features and MPLS.

The Cisco CSR 1000V does not provide or support Right-to-Use performance licenses.

You will receive warning notices that the subscription term license will expire beginning eight weeks before license expiration.

The licenses must be activated in order for the Cisco CSR 1000V network ports to provide the supported throughput.

When the Cisco CSR 1000V is first booted, the router operates in evaluation mode, and provides limited feature support and is limited to a maximum throughput of 2.5 Mbps. To obtain the full feature support and throughput provided by your license, you must do the following:

To access the features supported in your license, you must enter the license boot-level command and set it to the level supported by your license (Standard, Advanced, or Premium).

To set the throughput level to match your license, you must enter the platform hardware-throughput command.

You must then reboot the Cisco CSR 1000V for these settings to take effect.

If the throughput license expires or becomes invalid, the maximum throughput of the router reverts to 2.5 Mbps. When the 60-day evaluation license expires, the maximum throughput reverts to 2.5 Mbps and to the limited feature set.

The subscription term begins on the day the license is issued.

For more information about license activation, see the “Managing Cisco CSR 1000V Licenses” section on page 13-1.

If you rehost the Cisco CSR 1000V to a VM on another server, the following rules apply:

You must purchase a new rehost software license that lasts for the period remaining on the original license.

If the original license was renewed, the rehosted software license will last for the period remaining on the renewed license.

You have a 60-day grace period to remove the software license from the original server hardware and activate it on the rehosted server hardware.

The Cisco CSR 1000V also supports Cisco License Manager and Cisco License Call Home. For more information about the standard Cisco IOS XE software activation procedure, and information about Cisco License Manager and Cisco License Call Home, see the Software Activation Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S.

Cisco CSR 1000V Series Architecture Differences from Hardware Platforms

Cisco CSR 1000V Series Architecture Differences from Hardware Platforms

Unlike traditional Cisco hardware router platforms, the Cisco CSR 1000V Series is a virtual router that runs independently on an x86 machine. As a result, the Cisco CSR 1000V Series architecture has unique attributes that differentiate it from hardware-based router platforms.

For example, Table 1-5 lists a comparison of some key areas where the Cisco CSR 1000V Series differs from the Cisco ASR 1000 series routers.
