Cisco Cisco Application Extension Platform for SRE

To obtain unrestricted shell access, the debug shell add-on package obtained from Cisco Developer 
Support must be installed on top of AXP.

To obtain the debug shell package:

Contact your Cisco AXP representative to apply for unrestricted shell access for a number of hardware 
application service modules or VMware system.

If Cisco AXP marketing sends their approval for unrestricted shell access, you must sign a contract 
stating that you will not deploy or sell any hardware that includes the add-on package.

Retrieve UDIs using the show license udi command (in Cisco AXP EXEC mode).

In this example, the command is run on VMware.

PID            SN              UDI 

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

VME_APPRE-K9 -- 

00:11:22:33:44:55

Contact 

 and send a file that lists the UDIs of the hardware requiring access.

Cisco Developer Support checks the list of UDIs you provide and sends you the debug shell add-on 
package contained in two files: axp-dbgshell.<vendorcompany>.<version>.prt1 (payload) and 
axp-dbgshell.<vendorcompany>.<version>.pkg.

You cannot modify the debug shell add-on package provided by Cisco Developer Support.

To obtain unrestricted shell access:

Install the debug shell add-on package onto the application service module using the software install 
package command.

After installing the debug shell add-on package, use the show software versions detail or the
show tech-support command in Cisco AXP EXEC mode to verify that the debug shell package has 
successfully installed.

In this example the following output is displayed after you enter show software versions detail:

Name: Debug Shell built for  <Customer Name> (1.5)

 Desc: Debug shell - not for use  on production systems

   id:  8c7ea828-82ad-455f-b8a8-9dd965ce4d1b

To verify root access, enter the debug shell command (in Cisco AXP EXEC mode):
