9200 & VNs

i_mohamed — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 21:42:43 GMT

C9200 supports only 4 VNs as documented in the datasheet. Is this limitation applies to the whole SDA Fabric? I mean: If i am using only 9200 in my network, but i have different sites (all under one DNA Center): will i be limited to only 4 VNs across ALL the network? or it is a local limitation per "each switch"?

In other words: can i create more than 4 VNs on DNA Center if i have only 9200 in my netwok?

Hello,

The fabric site that contains 9200 will be limited to 4 VNs. Other fabric sites will NOT be limited to 4 VNs if they do not have 9200. Also please note there is 9200 variants that supports only 1 VN and there is variants that supports 32 VNs. These are all documented in the 9200 data sheet and the SD-Access compatibility matrix, http://cs.co/sda-compatibility-matrix . As of right this moment I see the 32x VN C9200 SKUs are not listed in the SDA compatibility matrix, so please check with your pre-sales team about when they will be added.

Best regards, Jerome

Hi Jerome,

the 4 VN's on the 9200, does that include the INFRA_VN?

Pascal

i guess it's about IOS-XE 4 VRF limit applied to C9200. If u take Enchanced VN SKU limit will rise to 32 VRF.
INFRA_VN is bound to GRT, i doesnt require configured VRF
BUT EnchVN SKU applicable only to limited set of C9200 HW. i dont remeber exact PN
