9.
Choose the Use Telnet option.
10.
Click Finish.

You can now access the Cisco IOS XE console using the Telnet port URI. See the Opening a Telnet Session to the Cisco
CSR 1000v Console on the Virtual Serial Port, on page 151.
To use these settings, either the Auto Console option or the Serial Console option in the GRUB menu must
have been selected while the Cisco CSR 1000v booted. If you have already installed the Cisco CSR 1000v
software using the virtual VGA console, you must configure either the Cisco IOS XE platform console auto
command or platform console serial command and reload the VM in order for the console access through the
virtual serial port to work. See the Changing the Console Port Access After Installation, on page 152.
