Hybrid mode 9200 and 9300 catalyst switches

How do you onboard the 9200 and 9300 catalyst switches in hybrid mode? We would like to manage it from the cli as well as from the cloud. Can the switches firmware be updated from the cloud in hybrid mode? 

Can the switch really be fully managed from the cli and does the switch retain all cli features like dyanmic routing (BGP/OSPF), configuring secondary ip addresses on interffaces etc when hybrid mode is configured?

Anything else we need to be aware of?

@hmc25000 when you onboard an IOS-XE switch that is running 17.15 or later you have two choices.  Either you make the changes from the dashboard (cloud configuration mode) or you make the changes from the CLI (device configuration mode).  In device configuration mode the dashboard cannot render every part of the CLI config, but there are very few areas that are incompatible with the dashboard.
