Cisco Cisco Application Extension Platform for SRE

At this point the session for Cisco AXP Emulation using VMware is configured and you are able to 
install add-on packages on the virtual system.

In addition to VGA console access, Cisco AXP server CLI access is also possible using SSH.
See the section 

 in the 

 for details. 

The virtual appliance package emulates Cisco AXP application service module NME-APPRE-302-K9 
by default. The virtual appliance package provides two ethernet ports attached to the same L2 (virtual) 
network, which is similar to the Cisco AXP application service module (NME) hardware.

The virtual appliance is configured to use bridge mode by default. You must acquire an additional IP 
address from the network administrator for the host PC to use the virtual appliance on interface Eth0. 
You will need an additional IP address if you want to use interface Eth1. DHCP client functionality is 
not supported, so you must manually configure the IP address of the virtual appliance.

To obtain a license for Cisco AXP Emulation using VMware, contact your Cisco marketing 
representative to obtain an authorization file. Cisco AXP Emulation using VMware is available for 
evaluation purposes only and is not supported by Cisco Technical Support

All Cisco AXP APIs are supported on VMware with the exception of the Promiscuous Packet API (for 
packet monitoring)—see Note below. 

The add-on package APIs for AIM and NME modules are listed in the 

The Promiscuous Packet API (for packet monitoring) is not supported in VMware because there is no 
direct connection to the Cisco ISR (router). However, operations using promiscuous mode and packet 
capture with pcaplib are still available if the packet source can be generated by a source other than the 
Cisco ISR.

The following enhancements to debugging and troubleshooting are available:
