Enabling Management by REST API

Enabling REST API Support Using the Cisco IOS XE CLI

Introduction to REST API Configuration Options

You need to configure the management interface to support REST API using the Cisco IOS XE CLI if you
installed the Cisco CSR 1000v in either of the following ways:
• If you installed the Cisco CSR 1000v using the .iso file.
• If you deployed the Cisco CSR 1000v using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
Note If upgrading a REST API configuration from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10S to a later release, you must
add your REST API configuration to the IOS configuration.
Before configuring the shared management interface, perform the steps in
page
The REST API management is located in a management virtual services container that is separate from the
router components, including the router management interface. You have two choices for configuring the
REST API management support, and the steps for each of these are in the following two sections:

Enabling REST API Support

Beginning with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.11S, and including IOS XE Denali 16.3.1 and later, you can enable
REST API support on the remote management interface. To disable REST API support, see
API Support, on page
277.

(Cisco IOS XE 3.13S and later, and IOS XE Denali 16.3 and later) The router management interface
and the virtual services management container can share the same IP address. This can be used to save
an IP address to be allocated for other purposes.

(Required in Cisco IOS XE 3.11S and 3.12S, optional in later releases.) The router management interface
and the virtual services management container use different IP addresses.
