ISR1001-4P GuestShell Support for Python-on-Box

[dave.m162]

Hi,

I'm currently working on an ISR1101-4P and I can't get the guestshell working as the .tar file is missing, I've noticed that on some routers the Tar file is available to download and install seperatly and I'm wondering if this is the case for this router also?

I spesifically need it for Python-on-box, pref version 3.

My IOS is: Cupertino 17.09.03a

Thanks in advance for any help.

I spesifically need it for Python-on-box, pref version 3.  - last time i was tested on Cat 9300 was 2.7 only (but you can have app hosting with Python 3)

Whilst I appreciate your reply you seem to have misunderstood the issue. We can't curently do App-Hosting, becasue we can't enable the guestshell becasue the .Tar file is missing that is required to install it.

We have used Python-On-Box sucsesfully on the CSR1000v's in the past, that had Python 3 (can't remember the exact version) and the cisco CLI Python module pre-installed. We were hoping for the same thing in the ISR1101 but, we got so far into enabeling guestshell and we ran into the below issue.

---------------------------------------------------

ISR1101#guestshell enable
Interface will be selected if configured in app-hosting
Please wait for completion

I only know the app hosting method to get guest shell (until nexus have different way)

until your iox running you can go further - did your iox running ?

#show iox-service

Maybe too late but the answere is on the release note 17.9 :

From Cisco IOS XE Release 17.9.1a, guestshell is removed from the IOS XE software image. As a result, Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) python script is no longer supported on Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers. If you need to use guestshell, then download it from https://developer.cisco.com/docs/iox/#!iox-resource-downloads/downloads. For more information, see Guestshell installation procedure.

You can download it from here (Software for C1100 on 17.9.1 release) : https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286315006/type/282046477/release/Cupertino-17.9.1a?i=!pp

Then use the installation command :

C1118-8P#app-hosting install appid guestshell package bootflash:guestshell.17.09.01a.tar
