Edge as a full fledged router

TalalTayyaroğlu — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 14:02:11 GMT

Good day,

We are migrating our network from Cisco ISR at the network edge to VMware SD-WAN (Edge 510 specifically).

I use the Cisco ISR routers mainly for routing, DHCP server (with DHCP option 121 enabled), NAT, and as a VPN endpoint.

At some branches, I use the Cisco ISR to reroute traffic intended for certain destinations to go through a certain route on the LAN side (without exiting through the WAN) because some customers provide their own VPN/WAN.

Is this possible to replicate in an Edge? Can I perform such routing decisions?

Hi,

As far as I can confirm the contents, I think that it can be realized with VMware SD-WAN, but I recommend you to do PoC by yourself.
It is also possible to check using HOL.

regard.

No it can't do any of these. DHCP option 121 not supported. NATing traffic between VLANs, also not supported.
