IR1101 support for Guestshell and Python

[Stephen Craven]

I am unable to activate Guestshell on the IR1101 running 16.12.3 as the router complains about missing a tar file.

Is this supported? Do I have to download the tar file separately?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

the guest shell is not supported on the IR1101.

It is an entirely different architecture compared to the IR8x9s.

However, we are working on creating similar functionality with the help of an IOx app.

We are currently looking for EFT customers for this.

Would you be interested in this?

Kind regards,

Mirko

Thank you for the information and the offer. Unfortunately our needs are more immediate.

Is there an update to this?  I saw a guestshell.17.06.01a.tar is now offered at software.cisco.com under the IR1101 17.06.01 release folder, but I can't figure out how to put it in the right place and get it to work.

I had some success using 

app-hosting install appid guestshell package <path to tar file>

taken from  https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/1101/software/configuration/guide/b_IR1101config/m-1101-features-17-5-1.html

First download guestshell tar file here: https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286319772/type/282046477/release/Bengaluru-17.6.1a

On IR1101 guestshell needs to be installed first using:

app-hosting install appid guestshell package <path to tar file>

Then you can enable it with: 

guestshell enable

I'm currently on Cupertino 17.09.03a, will this same .tar work on this version or will I need an updated Tar? 

[Emmanuel Tychon]

Yes @dave.m162 , while I have not tested this particular release, this should work.
