The limitations of SDN support include the following:

      • Cisco ACI
        • Remote Leaf is not supported.
        • Cannot map out EoMPLS devices between Transit Leaf and Spine for Stretched Fabric deployment that uses EoMPLS to interconnect Transit Leaf and Spine.
        • Running Qapps on logic nodes (like Tenant, VRF, EPG, etc.) is not supported.
      • NSX-V
        • Overlay L2 topology and underlay paths are not supported.
      • Big Switch
        • Only support spine/leaf switches' L2 link(NDP) table. Other data is retrieved from the controller as NCT tables.
      • Cisco Meraki Z3 and MX
        • SD-WAN routing table is populated by NetBrain's algorithm but not exported by API.
        • The netmask of some interfaces cannot be accurately retrieved by API. However,  the netmask of the VLAN interface can be retrieved by API.
