IOx Local Manager
Cisco IOx Local Manager is a platform-specific application that is installed on a host system as part of the
installation of the Cisco IOx framework on that device. It provides a web-based user interface that you can
use to manage, administer, monitor, and troubleshoot apps on the host system, and to perform a variety of
related activities. (To manage apps across different devices, you can use Cisco Fog Director. See the Cisco
Fog Director documentation for additional information.)
Cisco IOx is an application enablement platform that provides uniform and consistent hosting capabilities for
various types of apps across various Cisco platforms. This platform brings together Cisco IOS, the
industry-leading networking operating system, and Linux, the leading open source platform. Linux-based
applications can run on Cisco devices in the Cisco IOx framework, so using this platform, you can bring
custom applications and interfaces to the network.
With Cisco IOx, developers can create a wide variety of IoT apps, such as data aggregation system and control
systems.
If the IC3000 operates in standalone mode, without a connection to FND, IDA will assign a fixed link local
IPv4 address, 169.254.10.1, to the service bridge interface that the management port (mgmt0) is attached to.
End users could connect a device, a laptop for example, directly to the management port of the device, launch
a browser on the laptop, and access IOx local manager at https://169.254.10.1:8443 from the browser.
The Local Manager login page will appear.
Basic device configuration functions are available on the Device Config tab on local manager.
