This chapter provides instructions for installing and managing the Cisco SRE-V software.
Note
•If you purchased Cisco SRE-V Option 1, a blank Cisco SRE Service Module, you must download and install the Cisco SRE-V software. For Cisco SRE-V options, see Figure 1-3.
•Microsoft Windows software is not available for download from Cisco.com. You must install your own version of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 software.

Downloading the Cisco SRE-V Software
This section provides the steps to download the Cisco SRE-V software.
Before you begin, do the following:
•Make sure that you have the IP address or name of the FTP server in which you want to store the Cisco SRE-V software package file.
•Verify that the FTP server is accessible.
To download the Cisco SRE-V software, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Go to http://www.cisco.com/go/ucse, click Download Software, and then download the Cisco SRE-V files.
Note If you use a file extractor tool designed for Windows, such as WinZip, you must disable CR/LF conversion of tar files. For example, in WinZip 9.0, select Configuration > Miscellaneous, and then uncheck TAR file smart CR/LF conversion.
Step 2 Copy the files to the FTP server. All files to be installed must reside in the same directory.
Step 3 Install the software. See the "Installing the Cisco SRE-V Software" section.
