|
Multi-Homing Configuration in BGP EVPN VXLAN Fabric |
Network Essentials and Network advantage |
By utilizing EVPN Ethernet Segments with VLANs mapped to Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVIs), you can implement multi-homing within an EVPN VXLAN fabric. Thus, it enhances network resilience, offers redundancy, and optimizes resource utilization. Earlier, single-model procedures for EVPN restricted configurations to either Bridge Domain (BD) or VLAN. |

Known Limitations
Smart Licensing Using Policy
Starting with Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.
The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following: Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).
VLAN-Aware Interoperability Limitations on IR1101
Cisco does not support VLAN-aware interoperability with other vendors on the IR1101 platform.
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass Limitation
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is an authentication method that grants network access to specific MAC addresses regardless of 802.1X capability or credentials. The IR1100 crashes with concurrent IPSec traffic and macsec traffic (device to client).
Refer to the following table for details:
|
Details |
Release Affected |
Release Fixed |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MAB/Dot1x may not work if the global type-6 encryption setting is enabled. If users still want to use MAB/Dot1x, they should disable the type-6 encryption and enable type-7 encryption. |
17.4.x 17.5.x 17.6.1 17.6.2 17.7.1 |
17.3.5 Fixed in these future releases: 17.6.3 17.7.2 17.8.1 and later. |
||
|
dACL and device-tracking features are not supported on the Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Routers due to a hardware limitation. dACL is supported on the Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Routers series. Therefore, features such as MAB and Dot1x should not be used with the optional dACL/device-tracking enabled. |
|
Hardware limitation, no software fix available. |
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XE releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.
Cisco Bug Search Tool (BST)
The Cisco Bug Search Tool (BST) is a gateway to the Cisco bug-tracking system, which maintains a comprehensive list of defects and vulnerabilities in Cisco products and software. The BST provides you with detailed defect information about your products and software.
