How to login to IOS XE Programmability always on lab?

[bipinatyale]

Hello Folks,

I m new to this developer community on Cisco DevNet. I finished one lab named IOS XE programmability lab by reading the content now I want to try it on Cisco sandbox. But I m not able to understand how to search it on Sandbox and also once its visible in search how to login there? 

Appreciate your time and help on this very much. 

Many thanks,

Hi @bipinatyale 

Go to https://developer.cisco.com/ and log in.  Under the "Get started with what DevNet has to offer" click the Sandbox icon.

That basically gets you here but I wanted to show you how to get here.

https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/

Here you can view all the DevNet "Sandboxes".  Look for the ALWAYS-ON notation for the ones you don't have to reserve.

Click on the lab and it will open up a page full of information.  On the left hand is the Instructions pane. Look for a section called "Access Details" which will give you ports and credentials.

Many thanks for the response and info. Problem is I m not able to connect to the Cisco Anyconnect VPN based on the instructions given in the left pan there? Don't know what is the issue here. So I assume I should connect to Cisco Anyconnect before accessing the lab right?



Many Thanks,

No AnyConnect connections is required to access the Always On Sandbox devices, @bipinatyale .

The AnyConnect connections are needed for labs you reserve but the Alway On Sandbox devices are different.

They are accessible over the Internet using the ports described.  Just try to SSH to one on Port 8181 from any system with an Internet connection.  Or try to ping the hostname.
