can run iox-service on xe 16.3.x ?

Hi all, I am reading in the Programmability Configuration Guide, in the New and Changed Feature Information section that Guest Shell started to be supported on Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1a, I am running xe 16.3.9 because I am running converged access in my house-lab, why in the flash: there is a cat3k_caa-guestshell.16.03.09.SPA.pkg file? does that means that somehow is possible to enable guestshell on 16.3.9 ???

Sometimes Cisco may release features for early field trial but they are not generally supported and only customers they're working with on the EFT will be able to use the feature.

- It might only work on certain hardware models.

- It might need a license or activation key from TAC or BU to enable it or undocumented config commands.

You need to have current IOS XE running 16.5.1a to get guest shell support for the model you mentioned.

 

show version give you what version of code running, if you running 16.5.1 the fearure works, Look you running 16.3.X version only, so try to upgade to required version and test it.

Thanks, but do you know what this package is for?

cat3k_caa-guestshell.16.03.09.SPA.pkg

(Its for the 16.3.9 clearly).

not sure why that is there - may be added pre-relase for testing - i can not comment on that, by the way what version you running ?
