New? VRFs

[RWelch-USA]

Anyone find the documents linked to VRFs?

Getting ready to post the documentation as 17.18 is nearing release - stay tuned!

I'm wide eyed checking the firmware updates page every day for the 17.18 release 😉

[Rasmus Hoffmann Birkelund]

Nice!

Can’t wait for the doc to land!

[joey.debra]

It's not the only thing I can see.

@brennmar what platforms will support loopbacks and routed links? Is this Catalyst only or will select MS130X/150's also have these?

[mloraditch]

It's IOS-XE based platforms.

[brennmar]

Catalyst platforms where XE already supports routed ports and loopbacks, correct.

[joey.debra]

Ok, well the GUI is letting me select an MS switch when creating it.
I'll test out tomorrow if it lets me save the config which would be weird 😜

[Rasmus Hoffmann Birkelund]

I'm guessing it's not entirely out.

Trying to configure a routed port on a C9300 gives me this.

No option to select a VRF, although I could create one.

Doesn't look like I can assign it though, from the looks of the Network column.

It's not listed in the "show run" on the 9300 either, which follows from it not being assigned.

[mloraditch]

It requires the 17.18.1 IOS-XE code on the switch

[brennmar]

correct - 17.18 minimum. Trying to get that out the door to beta ASAP.

We are waiting for this feature on our MX85 and MX450 networks. Will it work?

[joey.debra]

I don't believe this was announced at CLUS. So I'm not sure if this is coming.

The implementation that is coming now is on the switches to be able to finally have a routed campus or a fabric where the MX will probably be serving as a fusion firewall.

[mloraditch]

As a partner I can safely say that no nda is being violated when I say I have seen absolutely zilch on this being on the MX roadmap. Right now the focus is on making MX code work properly on the new secure router hardware and that's on just one model. They aren't even talking about getting the routers to work like the switches do (native IOS-XE).

While I can't say it's not on any roadmap, I wouldn't be deploying MXs, hoping this will come there.

[joey.debra]

Yeah I get the distinct feeling that the switch development under Brennan is going like a bullet train while the MX development is still at the station.

Are you implying that the different Meraki Product teams are *large gasp* not coordinating releases?!
