With Nexus 9K, specifically N93180YC-FX, running v9.3(6), is OSPF "prefix-suppression" still not supported? Looking for a confirmation.
I did check the Cisco feature navigator (https://cfnng.cisco.com/) but it is outdated for NX-OS...
I did try on the switch, but I can not find any related command under either OSPFv2/v3 process OR interface configuration mode...
I did search in the CLI reference and found nothing...
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello!
I can confirm that the OSPF "prefix-suppression" command present in IOS/IOS-XE is not supported in NX-OS at this time.
Looking internally, I do not see any requests for this to be added to the product roadmap, but I don't have the best visibility into that kind of information. @Sergiu.Daniluk's suggestion regarding how to make this feature request is correct - I recommend contacting your Cisco account manager or sales representatives to request that this feature be added to NX-OS in a future software release.
Let me know if you have any other questions - thank you!

Hi @SIMMN
I searched as well for this feature and looks like it doesn't exist on NXOS yet and there is no corresponding alternatives.
Cheers,

Hope someone from Cisco could help chime in. Also wonder why the simple feature would not be available for L3 switch platforms.

If you are looking for a feature request, it would be a good idea to contact the local cisco account manager (or any of your local cisco representatives) and make this request officially. If there is a business case for it, then it can be prioritized by the INSBU.
Stay safe,

Thanks! I understand the path for a feature request but for now I just hope to get some official confirmation.

Maybe @Christopher Hart can have a look internally if this feature was ever requested.
Cheers,

Thanks for the confirmation! One last question: is "OSPF prefix-suppression" supported on the IOS-XE switch platforms, like the C9300/C9500? I do not think so...

Hi!
I specialize in the Nexus product line, so I'm not the most authoritative source of information on whether OSPF prefix suppression is definitely supported on Catalyst 9300 or 9500 switches. With that being said, I grabbed a handful in the lab and was able to configure OSPF prefix suppression without issue:
C9500-1#show module Switch Ports Model Serial No. MAC address Hw Ver. Sw Ver. ------ ----- --------- ----------- -------------- ------- -------- 1 50 C9500-40X FCW2134A031 00a3.d145.8b80 V01 17.03.03 C9500-2#show module Switch Ports Model Serial No. MAC address Hw Ver. Sw Ver. ------ ----- --------- ----------- -------------- ------- -------- 2 50 C9500-40X FCW2237F0R7 00b8.b3c3.eb80 V01 16.9.4 C9500-1#show running-config | section router ospf router ospf 1 prefix-suppression network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 C9500-2#show running-config | section router ospf router ospf 1 prefix-suppression network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 C9500-1#show ip ospf | include suppress Prefix-suppression is enabled C9500-2#show ip ospf | include suppress Prefix-suppression is enabled
Do you see any evidence or documentation suggesting these switches don't support this feature? If so, we can validate that and get it corrected.
Thank you!

Appreciate your effort. While I was researching for the "prefix-suppression" feature on NX-OS, especially with the feature naviagator, I got the feeling the feature is not available on any switching platforms, at least for OSPFv2...thats why I want to take advantage of this post to check for the C9Ks which I guess I am wrong
