An IOx application is installed via Local Manager. Every time the application is started, it instantly stops. Which troubleshooting steps should be taken?

Question

Options

• AThere is something wrong with the application code itself.
• BCheck the startup and entrypoint parameters.
• CGive the IOx application more CPU units.
• DCheck local IOx settings, especially the network settings.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  82% (27)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

Giving the IOx application more CPU units (C) resolves the instant-stop behavior because Cisco IOx enforces strict resource quotas at launch - if the allocated CPU units are insufficient for the application's minimum requirements, the runtime cannot initialize the process and terminates it immediately before any meaningful execution occurs.

Option A (code bugs) is incorrect because a coding error would typically produce error logs, a crash dump, or an exit code - not a clean, silent instant stop with no other symptoms. Option B (startup/entrypoint parameters) is a plausible troubleshoot for a failed launch, but misconfigured entrypoints usually generate an explicit error, not an instant graceful stop. Option D (network settings) affects connectivity after the app is running; network misconfiguration does not prevent the process from staying alive.

Memory tip: Think of CPU units in IOx as the "runway" - if the runway is too short, the plane (app) can't even get airborne and stops immediately. Insufficient runway = instant stop at takeoff.
