Note Use this configuration quick reference document if you are familiar with the Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) Service Module and VMware vShpere Hypervisor^TM, and you only need a list of commands and steps to quickly set up and use Cisco Services Ready Engine Virtualization
(Cisco SRE-V). Detailed information about the configuration steps is provided in subsequent chapters.

---

Use this configuration quick reference document if you purchased a blank Cisco SRE Service Module without the Cisco SRE-V or Microsoft Windows software.

See Figure i-1 for an example of the configuration, and see Figure i-2 for the location of the IP addresses, and then complete the steps that follow.

Figure i-1 shows an example of the configuration.

•The left pane shows an example of the Cisco IOS commands that you configure in the
sm 1/0, sm 1/1, and VLAN interfaces.

•The right pane shows where the configuration is applied in Cisco SRE-V.

Note The IP addresses in the configuration example in Figure i-1 are for reference only and might not be valid.

Figure i-1 Configuration Example

Figure i-2 shows the location of the IP addresses.

To access the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM through the ISR G2, you must provide two IP addresses: One IP address is of the interface that connects the router to the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM; and the other IP address is of the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM.

The virtual machines are accessed through the MGF interface. The port groups on a vSwitch in the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM can be assigned to corresponding VLAN interfaces in Cisco IOS. For example, port group 50 in the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM can be assigned to VLAN 50 in Cisco IOS.

To set up and configure Cisco SRE-V, complete the following steps:

---

Step 1 Install the Cisco SRE Service Module into the router. See Chapter 2, "Installing the Cisco SRE Service Module into the Router."

Step 2 Configure the Cisco SRE Service Module interfaces.

•Use the following commands from the host-router CLI:

–enable

–configure terminal

•Configure slot/0 of the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM:

–interface sm slot/0

–ip address router-to-hypervisor-interface-IP-address subnet-mask

–service-module ip address hypervisor-ip-address subnet-mask

–service-module ip default-gateway hypervisor-gateway-ip-address

–no shut

–exit

•Configure slot/1 of the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM:

–interface sm slot/1

–switchport mode trunk

–exit

•Configure VLANs:

–configure terminal

–interface vlan vlan_number

–ip address vlan-ip-address subnet mask

–no shut

–end

•Save the configuration:

–copy running-config startup-config

–show running-config

For details, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the Cisco SRE Service Module Interfaces."

Step 3 Go to http://www.cisco.com/go/ucse, click Download Software, and then download the Cisco SRE-V files.

Step 4 Install the Cisco SRE-V software. Use the following commands from the host-router CLI:

a. enable

b. service-module sm slot/0 install url url argument disk-cfg-mode={raid1 | raid0 | nonraid}

For details, see Chapter 4, "Installing and Managing the Cisco SRE-V Software."

Step 5 Register and activate the VMware vSphere Hypervisor^TM license.

For details, see Chapter 5, "Managing the VMware vSphere Hypervisor License."

Step 6 Go to https://hypervisor-ip-address, and download the vSphere Client. For details, see Chapter 6, "Managing Virtual Machines."

Step 7 Install the vSphere Client. For details, see Chapter 6, "Managing Virtual Machines."

Step 8 Install your own version of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 software, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 software, or Linux distribution, and then activate the software license.

---

Note Microsoft Windows Server software is not available for download from Cisco.com. It can only be purchased together with the service module.

---

Step 9 Configure the IP addresses for the Microsoft Windows Server by using the standard Microsoft Windows network configuration setup process. See the Microsoft Windows virtual machines in Figure i-1 for an example of the network settings.

Step 10 Install VMware tools. For details, see the "Installing VMware Tools" section on page 6.
