Fusion Router Configuration

This chapter has the following sections:

Generating Fusion Router Configuration

In Cisco MSX Enterprise Access solution, the devices are managed and configured by a Cisco DNA Center. However, components that perform the role of fusion routers are not managed by the Cisco DNA Center and have to be manually configured. Cisco MSX allows you to generate the configuration, for Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) leaking across Enterprise Access Fabric domains, and host connectivity to different external servers (Dynamic Host configuration Protocol or DHCP and others).

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to the Cisco MSX portal using your credentials.

Step 2

From the left pane, click Tenants Dashboard and then click the tenant name in the Dashboard page.

The Controller information is displayed.
Step 5

Click the 'Connect Virtual Networks' icon displayed at the top right corner of the screen.

A wizard appears with the instructions to generate the router configuration.

Note 

A fabric can have a maximum of one external border router. So, if you have two in your fabric, you will get an error message.
Step 6

Choose a Fabric from the list and click Next.

Step 7

Choose two Virtual Networks from the list and click Next.

Note 

You must have a minimum of two Virtual Networks that have segments. If you have less than two, the system will show a warning message. You can go to the fabric border in Cisco DNA Center and either add more Virtual Networks or segment in your existing Virtual Networks.

Step 8

Choose a Segment from the list and click Next.

Step 9

Choose a Segment from the list and click Next. This is the segment from the other network.
