    Abstract: Coexistence and migration of legacy and VXLAN networks may be provided. A first anchor leaf switch and a second anchor leaf switch may detect that they can reach each other over a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) overlay layer 2 network. In response to detecting that they can reach each other over the VXLAN, the second anchor leaf switch may block VLANs mapped to the VXLAN's VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) on the second anchor leaf switch's ports connecting to spine routers. In addition, the first anchor leaf switch and the second anchor leaf switch may detect that they can reach each other over a physical layer 2 network. In response to detecting that they can reach each other over a physical layer 2 network, the second anchor leaf switch may block Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) segments at the second anchor leaf switch.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes importing a route target for a remote Virtual Routing and Forwarding instance (VRF) at a leaf node in an overlay network, the leaf node comprising at least one local VRF configured thereon, processing routes received for the route target at the leaf node, and installing the routes for the remote VRF at the local VRF at the leaf node to enable inter-VRF communication via the leaf node. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

    Abstract: The present technology provides a framework for user-guided end-to-end automation of network deployment and management, that enables a user to guide the automation process for any kind of network deployment from the ground up, as well as offering network management, visibility, and compliance verification. The disclosed technology accomplishes this by creating a stateful and interactive virtual representation of a fabric using a customizable underlay fabric template instantiated with user-provided parameter values and network topology data computed from one or more connected network devices. A set of expected configurations corresponding to the user-specified underlay and overly fabric policies is then generated for deployment onto the connected network devices. Network deviations from the intended fabric policies are addressed by the provision of one or more configuration lines to be deployed onto or removed from the connected network devices to bring the network state in agreement with the set of expected configuration.

    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods to enable simultaneous interoperability with policy-aware and policy-unaware data center sites. A multi-site orchestrator (MSO) device can be configured to obtain configuration information for each of a plurality of different data center sites. The data center sites may include one or more on-premises sites and one or more off-premises sites, each of which may include one or more policy-aware sites and/or one or more policy-unaware sites. The MSO can selectively use namespace translations to create a unified fabric across the different data center sites, enabling one or more hosts and/or applications at a first of the data center sites to communicate with one or more hosts and/or applications at a second of the data center sites, regardless of the sites' respective configurations.

    Abstract: Techniques for a configuration change service to transition a network controller into a frozen state, causing network users submitting configuration changes associated with the network to refrain from deploying the configuration changes for a period of time are disclosed. A first user configured as a stager role may submit data representing a proposed change to the configuration change service, where the proposed change may be stored in association with a list of proposed changes. A second user configured as an approver role may submit data representing an approval or disapproval of the proposed changes to the configuration change service, where a modified list of proposed changes may be generated. A third user configured as an administrator role may submit data configured to transition the controller to an unfrozen state and/or deploy the changes included in the list of proposed changes to the network controller, subsequent to the period of time.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for enabling interoperability between asymmetric and symmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) modes. An interfacing component may be configured to receive a first route advertisement from a first edge node in a Layer-2 (L2) fabric. The first route advertisement may correspond to an asymmetric format route, for instance. The interfacing component may be further configured to receive a second route advertisement from a second edge node in a L2/Layer-3 (L3) fabric. The second edge node may be configured for symmetric integrated routing and bridging (IRB). The interfacing component may be configured to re-originate the first route and the second route such that the interfacing component is included as a hop in the resultant routes between the L2 fabric and the L2/L3 fabric.
