If you are required to retrieve the gateway serial number from an IOx application, environment variables set by the Cisco Application Framework (CAF) are automatically set in the execution environment in the /data/.env file.

 

You can access this file from your IOx application directly, or invoke it to set all the variables as environment variables, such as:

 

/ # source /data/.env
/ # echo $CAF_SYSTEM_SERIAL_ID
FGL23362022

To see all the variables available in an IOx container, this can be done by accessing the console with the ioxclient utility. The following command (to get console to the application called iox-serial) and then list all the variables:

 

 

 etychon@squeeze:~/iox/iox-serial$ ioxclient app con iox_serial
Currently active profile :  default
Command Name:  application-console
Console setup is complete..
Running command : [ssh -p 2222 -i iox_serial.pem appconsole@192.168.2.231]
/ # cat /data/.env
#!/bin/sh
export CAF_APP_PERSISTENT_DISK_SIZE_KB=102400
