Download ie4000-universalk9_iox-tar.152-4.EB.tar image to your PC:https://software.cisco.com/download/special/release.152-4.EB

Copy the IOx image on the switch’s sdflash: from your PC:

1. Power down the IE 4000.

2. Take the SD card out from the IE 4000 while powered off.

3. Insert the SD card in the PC.

4. Copy over the IOx tar file from the PC to the SD card.

5. Insert the SD card back into the IE 4000 and apply power to the IE 4000.

Set up the console of the switch to access the switch as shown in the following figure.

Make sure to have one IOS image (.bin) on local flash: or sdflash: as a backup (that is, while coping the IOx image do not overwrite the IOS image).

Review the network diagram and table below. What the LXC application (for example, MTConnect in this case) needs is a OEE type application running somewhere in the northbound network, and some data generation devices in the southbound network. You should be aware of how the IE 4000 is "connected" to the network as well as how IOx will connect to the network through the IE4000.

1. When configuring the IE 4000 for network deployment, you will need to know the items in the table “Sample Network Configurations”.

   Note	You will be asked to replace the following parameters used in the example with ones that fit in the network to which you are deploying. IP addresses, VLAN IDs and the GW IP address follow the entire example below. Replace with your desired network parameters.

   

   Table 1. Sample Network Configurations

   Interface	Configuration	Vlan	Gateway
   IE4K Northbound	IP Address = 172.16.1.4.255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 1 port G1/1	Default gateway = 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0\
   IE4K IOX	Host IP address = 172.16.1.104 255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 1	Host IP default-gateway = 172.16.1.4 255.255.255.0
   IE4K Southbound	IP Address = 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 500 (use a different VLAN vs North & Southbound, default is vlan 500) Fa1/5
   User / Password	To access Device Manager: admin / cisco

After the IE 4000 switch powers up, answer "no" to the following prompt:

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: No

By default Auto boot is enabled in the switch, but if you happen to get a non-manufacturing unit, enable it manually.

Conf terminal
no boot manual

Set up the Management IP of the switch (this will also be the Northbound connection):

conf t
int vlan 1
description mgmt IP
ip address 172.16.1.4 255.255.255.0
no shut
Exit

1. Enable ip routing and configure a gateway of last resort (also known as the default route). By default “ip routing” is disabled on the IE 4000. Enable ip routing and configure a gateway of last resort as follows:

ip routing
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.1.1

Configure the Ethernet interface connecting the IE 4000 to the northbound network on the correct VLAN. In the example provided it is vlan 1 and GigabitEthernet 1/1. Depending upon what type of device is on the other side of GigabitEthernet 1/1, the configuration is different. If the device is a router, follow step A. if the device is an Ethernet switch, follow step B. If you don’t know what type of device it is, follow step A. In either case, the VLAN used remains the same.

1. Connect to a router.

   Example:

   Interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
   Switchport mode access
   Switchport access vlan 1
   end
   

2. Connect to an Ethernet Switch.

   Example:

   Interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
   Switchport mode trunk
   Switchport trunk native vlan 1
   end
   

Verify that you can ping the Gateway Router IP.

Switch#ping 172.16.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 3/4/7 ms

1. i. The correct Ethernet interface has been connected, and the connection to the northbound network device is up and operational. In the example, GigabitEthernet 1/1 is used. If you are using a different Ethernet interface, ensure that is was configured correctly.

2. Vlan 1 is operational. Use the show ip interface brief command to confirm that the management VLAN’s IP address is "Up". If not, then spanning tree could be the problem, or you could have a native VLAN mismatch, which means the "native vlan" on the Ethernet interface is not correct.

3. Ensure the device on the northbound connection (in this document’s example this is the gateway router) is configured correctly, and its configuration is correct and it is pointing to the new IE 4000. You can use show cdp neighbor on the IE 4000 and also on the gateway router (assuming it’s a Cisco router) to verify interface connectivity.

1. Assuming the gateway router has correct routing configured and has connectivity to OEE, also try pinging your OEE IP (172.16.2.2).

Switch#ping 172.16.2.2

Set up the console and enable SSH access. Privilege level 15 is a requirement to access the IOx Local Manager GUI.

Copy the IOx enabled IOS image to sdflash following the regular IOS file copy procedures. While copying the iox file, do not overwrite the IOS image.

1. It's best to power down the IE 4000 prior to removing the sdflash.

2. a. Apply power after the SDFlash: has been re-installed. The IE 4000 will auto start.

Untar the file on sdflash using the archive download-sw command.

Switch# archive download-sw sdflash:ie4000-universalk9_iox-tar.152-4.EB.tar sdflash:Ins

Reload the switch. If the IE 4000 prompts to save the configuration, respond with "yes".

Switch #
      reload

Configure IOx (Northbound IP).

• Northbound Configuration using Device Manager

  Log in to Device Manager (http://172.16.1.4). Select IOx tab > IOx Network Settings. Select Static and fill in the IOx Northbound IP address. Fill in the Default gateway to be the same as the switch Mgmt IP address. Click Submit.

  
• Northbound configuration using CLI

  Config term

Verify CAF (Cisco Application Framework) is running in IOx.

• Application lifecycle management (Install, Start, Stop, Monitor, Uninstall, Upgrade)
• Resource provisioning and management (CPU, memory, network, storage etc.)
• Application monitoring and metrics collection
• Mechanisms for troubleshooting and debugging

• Verify CAF Status using Device Manager

  Go to DM (http://172.16.1.4) > IOx > IOx Status.

Configure Southbound network. Default is vlan 500.

• Configure interface using Device Manager.
• Configure interface using CLI.

  Config t
  int Fa1/5
  Description Connection to MTC adapter
  Switchport mode access
  Switchport access vlan 500

  Note	repeat this step for all south bound interfaces connecting data generating devices communicating with the container application(s) installed in IOx.

Verify IOx Southbound default IP.

Example:

Interface	Configuration	Vlan	Gateway
IE4K Northbound	IP Address = 172.16.1.4.255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 1 port G1/1	Default gateway = 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
IE4K IOx	Host IP address = 172.16.1.104 255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 1	Host IP default-gateway = 172.16.1.4 255.255.255.0
IE4K Southbound	IP Address = 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0	VLAN ID = 500 (use a different VLAN vs North & Southbound, default is vlan 500) Port Fa1/5
User / Password	To access Device Manager: admin / cisco To access Local Manager: cisco / cisco

You can verifiy southbound IOx IP using device Manager. Go to DM (http://172.16.1.4) > IOx > MTConnect Manager > Southbound Network Settings.

Save the configuration.

• Save configuration using Device Manager.

  If you configure the switch using Device Manager, the configuration is saved in NVRAM automatically. No further action is needed.

• Save configuration using CLI.

  Configuration performed using the CLI is saved in RAM and needs to be saved in NVRAM. Use the command below to save configurations from running-config to startup-config:

  Write memory
  

The IE 4000 configuration is complete, and IOx is ready to use. Proceed with configuring the LXC app using Local manager using the Cisco IOx Local Manager Reference Guide.

By configuring an OEE application with 192.168.0.0/16 network interface, it will communicate to the MTC agent using its northbound interface.
