9300L doesn't support option 15 running on DHCP

The 9300L switches don't appear to support option 15 (domain suffix) running in a DHCP pool on the switch. That is an odd thing to not support. Is there a comprehensive list of everything the 9300L's don't do? Using these seems to be a step back to the bad old days when figuring out what a Cisco box would and would not do was a landmine operation, and the only way to know would sometimes involve finding an FAQ from a Cisco Live event from 3 years ago.

Don't you have the option to set a custom dhcp option, like described in the following document?

Here is the list of unsupported options, for other unsupported features you can consult the Meraki documentation.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

You are defining option 15 as a custom option and it's not sending? While I don't have a 9300L doing DHCP, that sounds like a potential bug and I would involve support.

 

There is not a comprehensive checklist that I'm aware of (although there should be)

You can find some details here: https://documentation.meraki.com/Firmware_Features/MS_Firmware_Features_Directory
and here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Cloud-Native_IOS_XE/Cloud-Native_IOS_XE_Overview

If you aren't on the latest CS version you may want to try to upgrade. I don't see anything related to your issue in the most recent release notes, but it's certainly possible to be an already fixed bug.

It's not a bug.

Oh I'm sure it's not. These things rarely are.
