Configuring Cisco CSR1000V for SD-AVC: CPU Allocation Guide

This document provides essential guidance for network administrators on configuring the Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V. It details the process of allocating Virtual Machine (VM) CPUs, a critical step when deploying the CSR 1000V as a host for the Cisco Software-Defined Application Visibility and Control (SD-AVC) network service.

The guide outlines the necessary procedures, including specific commands to be executed on the CSR device and adjustments within the VMware ESXi hypervisor environment. Proper CPU allocation ensures optimal performance and stability for the SD-AVC service.

Key Steps Covered:

Allocating 8 CPUs to the CSR 1000V virtual machine in VMware ESXi.
Executing the platform resource service-plane-heavy command on the CSR.
Saving the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Reloading the device to apply changes.
Verifying CPU allocation using the show platform software cpu alloc command.

This configuration is vital for users leveraging Cisco's SD-AVC solution for enhanced network control and visibility.
