Live Questions

Q: Does switch port support uplink the mac-sec link?

A: Not presently. Road-mapped for 17.4 Nov release.

Q: Will the older 16.10/16.12 IOS XE SD-WAN (stand-alone) images be maintained for a specific amount of time going forward? Will these stand-alone code branches receive maintenance SW releases going forward or will they be EoL'd now with a single image?

A: We will maintain these for a while.

Q: Will there be any options to go back to perpetual licensing on 17 or will we still need to use the smart licensing?

A: Smart licensing is mandatory staring 16.9 or 16.10, and we have no plans to go back. This is mandatory starting 16.10 release onwards.

Q: There will be no controller mode in unified NPE image, right?

A: Since its unified image, it will hv controller mode. IOS XE SD-WAN mode is not supported with NPE, NOLI, NPE_NOLI image types; these images are not impacted with Single Image orchestration.

Q: What inbuilt security features are made available on 4Ks IOS XE SDWAN image?

A: The entire security stack is supported on SD-WAN with ISR 4K. FW App Aware, IPS, URL-F, AMP&TG, DNS/web Layer security. With a single image, we have brought it TLS decryption as well.

Q: Do licenses cater to both Autonomous and Controller modes?

A: Yes, the DNA SKU will be able to use for either IOS XE or IOS XE SD-WAN use-case for a given platform. Please refer to DNA licensing guide for more details.

Q: NPE image doesn't include crypto by definition -> SD-WAN won't work. So, if there will be a controller mode in NPE image, will it be useless?

A: XE SD-WAN mode is not supported with NPE, NOLI, NPE_NOLI image types; these images are not impacted with Single Image orchestration.

Q: I had issues in the past using ZBF on typical interface modules (NIM - e1/t1). What should I do?

A: So long as the interface has a valid IP address Zone-Based Firewall should work. Please, open a TAC case if the issue persists, and we will find the underlying cause of it.
