![]() ![]() Nick’s tool isn’t the best but it does the job.Ģ) Go to Cisco and download the latest and greatest software version of the CSR 1000v. ![]() Alternatively if you don’t want to pay the extra bucks for the Professional edition, you can use this free tool from Nick Weaver to create the networks if you are running the standard edition. The feature to add additional networks (similar to Network Editor in VMWare Workstation) was added by VMWare in Fusion 5 Professional and it’s not available in the standard edition of Fusion. ![]() I highly recommend using Fusion 5 Professional or 6 Professional if you want to create additional networks and assign the CSR 1000v interfaces to those networks. In this post I will show how to spin up a CSR 1000v instance in VMware Fusion for Mac.ġ) I’m running VMWare Fusion 6.0 Professional but you can also run this virtual router on Fusion 4 or 5. The CSR 1000v runs on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon Xen hypervisors but it can also run on a laptop/desktop hypervisor like VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion for testing or training purposes. I have been using the Cisco CSR 1000v as a default gateway in my home lab and I run an IPSec tunnel & LISP between it and my cloud provider (more on LISP in a separate post).
