Overview

You can't use disaster recovery when VLAN mode is enabled for Catalyst Center.

Consider these details about VLAN mode:

  • For a description of VLAN mode, see Configure the primary node using the Maglev wizard.

  • VLAN mode:

    • Can only be enabled when you configure a Catalyst Center appliance using the Maglev Configuration wizard.

    • Cannot be enabled using any of the browser-based configuration wizards.

    • Cannot be disabled without reimaging the appliance.

  • Disaster recovery is not supported by Catalyst Center deployments that have VLAN mode enabled.
