* You cannot use reserved VLANs (1002..1005) on Catalyst 8000v
111111
* _netlab_ uses new-style VLAN configuration (service instance configured as a **member** of the **bridge-domain**) on Catalyst 8000v nodes with the **premier** license, and old-style VLAN configuration (**bridge-domain** configured under **service instance**) on other Catalyst 8000v nodes.

* Recent _vrnetlab_ code uses **virtio** NICs for Catalyst 8000v VMs ([GitHub issue](https://github.com/srl-labs/vrnetlab/issues/414)). Ethernet subinterfaces on Catalyst 8000v [do not work with **virtio** NICs](https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/cat-8000v/#limitations); scenarios such as router-on-a-stick thus fail when using recent _vrnetlab_-built Catalyst 8000v containers.

* _vrnetlab_ used **virtio** NICs for Catalyst 8000v VMs, causing problems with Ethernet subinterfaces. Use the latest *vrnetlab* code that [uses **vmxnet3** NICs](https://github.com/srl-labs/vrnetlab/pull/419).

* The minimum VXLAN VNI accepted by Cisco CSR 1000v is 4096. Using lower VNI values triggers a configuration error that is not caught by Ansible, resulting in a weird failure of the **netlab initial** command.
