Intent-Driven Campus Network Deployment Practices
Ningguo Shen, Bin Yu, Mingxiang Huang, Hailin Xu · 2021
This chapter discusses the typical cases of intent-driven campus networks and how they are deployed in universities and colleges. The network design process starts with a survey of the customer&s;s requirements, followed by a thorough analysis, based on which a network solution can be carefully designed. To accelerate its development, University A plans to construct a new campus and equip it with a high-performance campus network. From the core layer to the access layer, virtualization technologies are leveraged to construct VNs based on various service plans. Management networks can be deployed in both in-band and out-of-band management modes. In-band management manages devices through their own service interfaces, avoiding extra costs when constructing the management network. In this mode, while management and control are separated, the cost is increased due to additional management network construction. The egress devices and core devices of University A are all deployed in the core equipment room, resulting in lower management network construction costs.
