Viewing the CSR 1000v Properties
The Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V is a single-tenant router in virtual form-factor that
delivers comprehensive WAN gateway functionality to multi-tenant provider-hosted clouds. It is a
software router that an enterprise or a cloud provider can deploy as a virtual machine (VM) in a
provider-hosted cloud.The Cisco CSR 1000V provides selected Cisco IOS XE features on a
virtualization platform. It also provides secure connectivity from the enterprise premise (such as a
branch office or data center) to the public or private cloud. Figure 26-10 depicts the deployment of CSR
1000v on a provider hosted cloud:

The Cisco CSR 1000V serves primarily as a router per tenant. In other words, since the CSR 1000v is
situated on the tenant’s side, each tenant gets its dedicated routing instance and services (along with its
own VPN connections, firewall policies, QoS rules, access control, and so on).
To view the CSR 1000v properties:
Step 1 In Prime Network Vision, open a map that contains the CSR 1000v device.
Step 2 Right-click and choose the Inventory option to open the Inventory window.
