Cisco AXP Reference Operating System

---

The AXP (1.5) Reference Operating System (AXPOS) is the default OS running in the virtual instance of the service module. AXPOS is a linux distribution that allows applications to be easily ported using RPM packaging.

As an alternative to using the AXPOS, you may be able to use the User-Defined Linux Environment (AXPUDL). (For information on the AXPUDL, refer to the "AXP User Defined Linux Environment" section on page 125.)

The AXPOS is explained in the following section:

Contents of the AXP (1.5) Reference OS

The Cisco AXP (1.5) Reference OS (AXPOS) used in Cisco AXP is similar to a version of the CentOS linux distribution. The following sections describe the differences between AXPOS and CentOS:

•Binary Executables

•Libraries

---

Note In the tables of binary executables and libraries, the following executables are not listed:

•Bash built-in commands and syntax. For example: [, ], function, if, while, for

•Cisco AXP commands: For example: static_mv, app_status_notifier

Binary Executables

The differences between binary executables/commands in the CentOS linux distribution and the Cisco AXP (1.5) Reference OS are described in the following sections:

•Binary Commands

•Cisco AXP 1.1 Specific Binary Commands

•Nonexecutable Binary Commands

Binary Commands

For a list of binary commands available in CentOS linux environment, refer to the
"Cisco AXP 1.5 Reference OS Commands" section on page 259.

Cisco AXP 1.1 Specific Binary Commands

For a list of binary commands that are only available in the Cisco AXP (1.1) Reference OS, refer to the "Cisco AXP 1.5 Reference OS Commands" section on page 259. These commands are not part of the Cisco AXP (1.5) Reference OS (AXPOS) and includes RPMs that are required to make these commands available in the AXPOS.

Nonexecutable Binary Commands

The "Nonexecutable Binary Commands" section on page 273 lists the binary commands available in CentOS that may fail when they are executed from the AXPOS.

Possible reasons for failure are:

•Missing RPM dependencies

•Missing /proc or /dev entries and/or capabilities in the AXPOS environment

Libraries

The differences between binary executables/commands in the CentOS linux distribution and the
Cisco AXP (1.5) Reference OS may be hard to compare when the names do not fully match. Libraries in the Cisco AXP (1.1) Reference OS and the Cisco AXP (1.5) Reference OS are listed in the "Appendix C: Libraries in AXP Reference OS" section on page 274.
