[New Demo]Cloud & Hybrid Operating Mode for Cloud-Managed Catalyst Switches

[ShawnHu]

With the release of Cloud Native IOS-XE 17.15.3, we are excited to announce that both Cloud & Hybrid Operating Mode for Cloud-Managed Catalyst Switches are now demo-ready on Meraki Launchpad🚀 demo platform.

We've upgraded all supported switches in the Sao Paulo - Cloud Campus Fabric network, enabling you to showcase these latest Cisco innovations live.

 

➡️Hybrid Operating Mode

As of the time of this post, Hybrid Operating Mode for Cisco Catalyst 9200 and 9300 series switches is in public beta.  This mode replaces Cloud Monitoring for Catalyst as the Meraki Dashboard-based solution for connecting Catalyst switches, offering key enhancements such as :

• A seamless, native switch onboarding experience through the Dashboard.
• An interactive Cloud CLI that provides full CLI console allowing configuration changes directly from the Dashboard.

Click 👉Hybrid Operating Mode for Catalyst Switches Simulation👈 to walk through the streamlined onboarding experience and the Cloud CLI in configuration mode.

➡️Cloud Operating Mode

In cloud operating mode, configurations are managed via the dashboard and delivered entirely from the cloud. This capability also offers a read-only Cloud CLI terminal you can use to view the entire running-configuration or perform advanced troubleshooting using IOS XE show commands.

Any update on when the C9400 and C9600 will be supported?

[In_oc]

Any update when C9500 is official supported with Hybrid Operating Mode?
Because the documentation says only C9200 and C9300 are supported right now: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Cloud-Native_IOS_XE/Hybrid_Operating_Mode_for_Catalyst_Cloud-Man...

Also, what feature set is usable with C9500 in Hybrid Mode? Stackwise Virutal, VRFs, .... everything usable?

[ShawnHu]

@In_oc Hybrid mode for Catalyst Switches will be GA in July and this includes official support on C9500s. For other features, you will be hearing more in the next couple of weeks.
