Today the latest IOS XE for CSR1000v is 3.12 so I downloaded this one and proceeded with installing it on VirtualBox. The image you can simply download from Cisco Products page, of course you need to have a user account, but I believe even with a free guest account it’s still possible to download the image file, give it a try. What we need is, VirtualBox, GNS3, and the ISO image of CSR1000v. Now running CSR1000v on GNS3 is not difficult as long as you know what you are doing, all you need is some basic knowledge of Virtual Machines and how to install one, because the CSR1000v run’s as a VM instance and we will map this instance with GNS3 so that in the background the CSR run’s on a VM but in GNS3 we can use it as a normal Router by creating different kind of network topologies to your needs. Basically all the IOS XE releases which start from 3.x correspond to the new classic IOS 15.x releases, however we will not talk this time about the mappings of IOS to IOS XE software version, if you are interested you can visit the official link on Cisco. CSR1000v is a virtual router or in other words it run’s the IOS software inside a Virtual Environment (in a Virtual Machine), and that’s not all because it can run the latest IOS XE software which is the successor of the classic IOS software. It has been quite some time since the Cisco’s Cloud Services Router CSR1000v was publicly released. Home › General Networking › CSR1000v on GNS3
