Now select Add Networking from the upper right hand corner We will use thse to connect the routers together, just like a normal switch would connect a normal router to a network, but here we will use Virtual Switches – so no cables needed! 🙂Ĭlick on your VM server and then select the Configuration tab To create your VMNetworks for the lab, first you need to create some Virtual switches. I ran this two more times and created a total of V routers from that OVA. Once complete, click on Close and you are down with your first router.

This may take some time depending on your server/network Now the system will start to deploy the template. Click FINISH to start to deploy the OVF Template. We will cover creating and assigned new VM Networks later in this post.Īfter you click next you will get a confirmations screen.

Since we did not create our VM networks yet, just accept the defaults for now. For Thick, it will need 8.3 G and for thin you need 546.2 MB. Here you can choose Thick or Thin provisioning, I do Thin for my home lab – but that is up to you. Select your Datastore to store the CSR1000V on and click next Now you can give the CSR1000V a name, here is the default one use – I appended a 1 to mine before clicking Next. Then browse to and select the OVA file we just downloaded and click nextĪnd then click next after you confirm the details To deploy the software, launch your vSphere Client, click on File – Deploy OVF Template

Deploying the OVA Software Just Downloaded Once it is down downloading, we can deploy the OVA file using VMWare vSphere Client.

There are no contracts associated with this item from what I understand, it is free to use in a limited fashion.

You will be prompted to login and then to Accept the License agreement to download the image, I used my CCO account that I have for my CCIE and was able to download it no problem. Now you can select the appropriate version, for me I am going to download the OVA version for vMWare. Then select IOS XE Software from the next menu Click on the Cisco Cloud Services Router 1000V Once you click on that link you should be presented with the image below.

To obtain the Cisco CSR1000V you need to download it from Cisco at this LINK and click on the Download software as seen circled below We will also configure the CSR1000V to have connectivity back to the “home production” network so that we can SSH/Telnet to these routers when we are labbing.

There have been some questions on how to set this up for a home lab and I figured I would cover how I am using it.įor this post, here is what we are going to build – a three (3) node CSR1000V network and three (3) vSwitch Networks to connect the CSR1000Vs together.
#HOW TO ENABLE RIGHT TO USE LICENSE ON CISCO PASSWORD#
Now that you have learned how to set line vty password and how to remove vty password(Telnet Password), you may want to learn How to Telnet a Cisco Router.I have been using the Cisco CSR1000V for my home lab setup for a little bit now. When you press enter the line vty cisco password will be disabled. For adding extra security to a router you should also read How Set Line Console password, How to set auxiliary line password and how to set enable secret password on cisco router. For removing vty line password go to the global configuration mode than to line configuration mode and than type no password. In cisco removing or undoing a settings is very easy, just type no before the command which you used for making changes. UpaaeRouter1(line-config)#login // this commands enforce the password before accessing router through TELNET (remote connection). UpaaeRouter1(line-config)# password upaaeVty //this command will set upaaeVty as your VTY Password. UpaaeRouter1(line-config)# // After executing the above command prompt will change to this. From security perspective it is extremely important to know the number of virtual lines your router / switch has, and these vty lines must be secured by a password to prevent unauthorized telnet access.Īlthough it is not a requirement of setting vty line password, but generally a good practice to secure console line, enable mode and auxiliary line by setting a password for each. The number of vty lines determine the number of simultaneous telnet connections we can have to that specific cisco router/switch. You should also learn about encrypted enable mode password or enable secret cisco password. The more vty lines a router or switch has the more users can access that device simultaneously through telnet. VTY is short for Virtual Terminal lines and are used for accessing the router remotely through telnet by using these virtual router interfaces.The number of Cisco vty lines is not consistent in all routers, but different cisco routers/switches can have different number of vty lines.
