Supported Routers
May 2023
Recommended: Meraki Endpoints
You can add only supported Meraki MX models to use with Cisco dCloud. See more about Meraki in How Routers Work with Cisco dCloud.
Discover how to Troubleshoot Meraki Issues, Open Firewall Ports for Session Access, and explore Cisco Developer resources. Meraki LearningLabs, and Documentation.
The following Cisco router models, configurations, and Meraki endpoints have been tested by the Cisco dCloud Team for use with dCloud. All router models tested with dCloud are listed, including routers recommended for dCloud use and other tested models.
Note: We recommend that the IOS versions for any user-provided router and integrated or external access points (APs) be the tested versions or newer. If you have problems using a newer IOS version, contact Cisco dCloud Support.

Legacy Routers
Keep in mind that most legacy routers are on the Cisco End-of-Sale and End-of-Support list. Therefore, Cisco dCloud Support can be limited for legacy router models.
Legacy routers used with Cisco dCloud must support Cisco® Easy VPN to allow a dCloud session to connect to it automatically. At this time, routers running Cisco IOS XE do not support Easy VPN and cannot be used to connect endpoints to Cisco dCloud.
