This video demonstrates how to get started with Cisco IOS-XE Guestshell. Guestshell is a lightweight Linux container (LXC) running on top of a Cisco Catalyst router or switch. This container allows a network administrator to access a Linux shell and python interpreter that runs directly on Catalyst networking hardware. Guestshell can be used for device provisioning, or any number of network automation use cases.
