Data in Motion (DMo) on c819

[#1]

This is a HOWTO for setting up an 819 router with IoX and enabling DMo services on it

Preqreuisites :

1. 819 router
2. Ethernet cable
3. Cisco Serial (Blue) cable

Flashing the IoX image and setting up IOS:

1. Power on yoru 819 and connect to the console port of the c819 using the serial cable
2. Download the latest IOx image from the software download center. If the 819 is connected to the internet, you can download it directly to the 819's flash. Otherwise, do a 2 step process of downloading to you laptop and then copying it to the 819's flash. (See below)
3. At the 819 console, enter 'enable' mode.
4. Run 'dir flash:' and make sure that the image file you downloaded in the flash. Make sure the size of the image on flash is correct.
5. Then run the following commands to get 819 to boot from the new image that we downloaded to flash.
   1. configure terminal
   2. boot system flash c800_universalk9-iox.mz.SSA
   3. end
6. Reload the router. If prompted to save system configuration ('System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]:'), say yes.
7. After reload, run 'show ip interfaces brief'. You should see an interface named 'Ethernet 1'. This indicates you have booted into the new IoX image.
8. Please make sure that the 'Ethernet 1' and all the 'FastEthernet' interface are up by using the command 'show ip interfaces brief'. If not, run the 'no shutdown' command in each interface's config from the terminal.
9. Enable the 'Ethernet 1' interface using the following commands
   1. configure terminal
   2. interface Ethernet 1
   3. no shutdown
10. A sample running config file is attached. You may use it as a reference to setup your running config
11. Now your 819 has all the basic setup completed.

TIP: How to copy the image and running config to the 819's flash :

In most cases the 819 may not have internet connectivity. In this situation connect one of the fast ethernet ports to your laptop. Make sure that the vlan1 interface and the fast ethernet port are enabled on the 819 by running the 'no shutdown' command on each of the interface's configuration prompt. Configure the ip address of the vlan1 interface on the 819 as 192.168.1.1 using the following commands

• configure terminal
• interface Vlan1
• ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
• end

Configure the ip address of the ethernet interface of your laptop as 192.168.1.2. Make sure you are able to ping the 819 from your laptop. Download the image and config file to your laptop. You should be able to use a browser to do this. Then run the command 'copy scp: flash:' on your 819 to copy the image from your laptop onto the 819's flash.

How do you enable DMo services on the C819? I believe the instructions were left out.

Hi Tuan,

DMo service by default will be in Stopped state on a fresh IOS image installation. The service could be started via the Local app manager user interface. In order to start the service via Local app manager user interface, first login to the user interface and click on Middleware Service tab.

DMo license is to be purchased and the license file is to be installed in order for the DMo rules to take effect.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the tip.

I have already obtained a DMo license, installed it using the Local App Manager UI, and enabled the service.

The problem I have is that, how do I go about verifying that DMo is in fact working? Is there any sample guides that I can follow? Most of the guides on DevNet are for the CGR platform, not the C819 so it's ambiguous to figure out where to look.

Hi Tuan,

For how to use DMo, please refer to the DMo API Reference Guide.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

The IOX image available in CCO for 819 router is for non hardened platforms only. Does it mean, IOX image runs only on 819 non hardened platforms only?.  I have C819HGW+7-N-K9 platform and tried to load the IOX image, but it doesn't load.

Is it mandatory that i need to have non hardened platform to load IOX image with DMo services?

Thanks,

Hi Yuvaraj,

Only the C819 with 4G supports IOx. The C819 with WiFi (without 4G) does not support IOx due to the different processors.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the clarification!
