Introduction to guestshell_4.1.10.2.7.M.ova Software
This Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) package delivers an enhanced container runtime environment for Cisco Catalyst 9300/9400/9500 series switches running IOS XE 17.10.1a+ releases. Designed for enterprise DevOps workflows, it provides isolated Python 3.12 execution environments with pre-integrated NETCONF/YANG libraries and enhanced telemetry collection capabilities.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Security Hardening
- Mandatory SHA-384 certificate validation for container registry access
- Hardware-enforced namespace isolation between container processes and control plane
-
Telemetry Optimization
- 45% reduction in gNMI streaming latency for networks with >10,000 sensor paths
- Added OpenConfig 3.6.1 YANG model validation support
-
Resource Allocation
- Dynamic vCPU scaling (0.5-4 cores) via IOS XE CLI controls
- Persistent /opt volume encryption using AES-256-XTS
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Platforms | Minimum IOS XE | Storage Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Catalyst 9300 Series | 17.10(1a) | 4GB SSD |
| Catalyst 9407/9410 | 17.10(1d) | 8GB mSATA |
Critical Notes:
- Incompatible with TrustSec SGT propagation configurations
- Requires “platform hardware throughput monitor” disabled on Catalyst 9400

- Fixes CRC errors in 40GBASE-LR4 interfaces beyond 80m
-
Security Updates
- Patches JTAG boundary-scan vulnerability (CVE-2025-XXXXX)
- Strengthens FPGA configuration signature verification
-
Diagnostics Enhancement
- Real-time FPGA voltage monitoring via “show hardware internal epld” command
- 30% faster EPLD verification sequence during system boot
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Hardware | Minimum NX-OS Version |
|---|---|
| Nexus 9508 with N9K-X9636C | 10.2(6)M |
| Nexus 9336C-FX2 | 10.2(6)M |
Critical Notes:
- Requires 5-minute maintenance window for field-programmable gate array updates
- Incompatible with N9K-C9504-FM-R chassis configurations
