Setup the Linux Network for Application Hosting

With the Packet I/O functionality, you can use Linux applications to manage communication with the IOS XR interfaces. For steps to configure the Linux Network, refer to Setup the Linux Network for Application Hosting in Application Hosting Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 540 Series Routers.


Note


From Cisco IOS XR Release 7.9.x, packet I/O capability ensures that off-the-shelf Linux applications can be run alongside IOS XR, allowing operators to use their existing tools and automate deployments with IOS XR.
