Question

Refer to the exhibit. A customer is deploying a Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch, but the Docker container is not running. Which command enables the Docker container on the switch to proceed with the Enterprise Agent installation?

Options

  • Acatalyst(config)#app-hosting appid docker
  • Bcatalyst(config-app-hosting)#app-resource docker
  • Ccatalyst(config-config-app-hosting-vlan-access-ip)#app-resource docker
  • Dcatalyst(config)#iox

Explanation

IOx is Cisco's application hosting framework that must be enabled before Docker containers can run on IOS-XE devices like the Catalyst 9300. Without iox enabled globally, the underlying container runtime isn't started, so no app-hosting configuration will work - the Docker engine simply isn't active.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (app-hosting appid docker) defines an application hosting profile for a specific app, but this is meaningless if IOx itself isn't running first.
  • B (app-resource docker) is a sub-command within an app-hosting config context used to assign resources (CPU/memory) to an app - not a top-level enablement command.
  • C references a deeply nested VLAN access IP configuration context, which is unrelated to enabling the Docker runtime.

Memory tip: Think of IOx as the "ignition key" - you must turn it on (iox) before any app-hosting configuration commands have any effect. If the container isn't running at all, the problem is always at the foundation: IOx is off.
