Hi there,

You need to install the REST-API 1000v OVA file into a container on the ASR:

 

https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284364978/type/286283116/release/3.16.04a.S

 

..details on the install can be found here:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/csr1000/software/restapi/restapi/RESTAPIinstall.html

 

...the base document details what resources can be interacted with via the API:

cheers,

Seb.

Hello

 

First of all, thanks for your information. I really appreciated. 

I will immediately read and following the guidelines.

 

One more question

Previously, I tried this feature on Cisco CSR1000v with VMware workstation 

and also enabled rest api on it. However, there was a problem with response information from curls.

I've searched from all of the website appeared in google, but it wasn't working.

can you give me some suggestion ? 

 

 

I've not much experience with using curl and REST. Normally I run tests with postman and then code everything else in python.

 

The only clue I can find is this post:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/192944/how-to-fix-curl-sslv3-alert-handshake-failure#192953

 

...worth a try.

 

cheers,

Seb
