Cisco Live US 2026 (Las Vegas) digest Program Core pick Las Vegas · 31 May – 4 June 2026

Abstract

VASU Thatipalli (Cisco)

  • Why: SONiC is where open-source NOS development is actually happening; a TAC-lead troubleshooting session is a good signal of how production-mature SONiC on Cisco silicon has become.
  • What: Operational and control-plane debugging of BGP, ACLs, and VXLAN in SONiC environments, plus a structured troubleshooting framework covering data plane, control plane, and root-cause analysis (from abstract only).
  • How: SONiC CLI techniques and log analysis to isolate faults in production-scale deployments.
  • Where applicable: Cisco 8000 + SONiC deployments; the framework and CLI methods apply to SONiC generally, and the session doubles as a maturity readout for disaggregated switching.
