ArubaCX: #3760

[ipspace]

The DNS resolution through a VRF does not work for me. What version of ArubaCX are you using?

Also, considering so many other platforms cannot do DNS resolution through a VRF, maybe we disable it for ArubaCX as well?

[ipspace]

OK, I figured out the details

ip dns domain-list cicd.local vrf oob_nms
ip dns server-address 172.16.0.2 vrf oob_nms

... configures DNS resolution within the VRF -- DNS client runs in the VRF and is used for commands like ping X vrf Y. ArubaCX does not seem to have the "global DNS client using VRF for the transport" functionality. I'll change the feature flags, rerun the DNS-in-VRF test, and merge the PR.

The modified feature flags work. Merging.

Thank you for the PR!

Thanks for the correction. I have to admit I was relying on their documentation... next on my todo list:

• start using the integration tests
• stop assuming something will work just because you think it could, or you've read it somewhere in the vendor docs!

I looked at that documentation and said "That's fishy. There's no way it does what I want it to do" ;)) Must have seen too many vendor docs for one lifetime ;)

👍

That's always a dangerous assumption.
