Automatic discovery and configuration of the network fabric in Massive Scale Data Centers
2018
A switching fabric in a massive scale data center can comprise many
10,000's of switches and 100,000's of IP hosts. To connect and
configure a network of such size needs automation to avoid errors.
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) protocols exist. These can configure IP
devices that are reachable by the ZTP agents. A method to combine BGP,
DHCPv6 and SRv6 with ZTP that can be used to discover and configure an
entire network of devices is described. It is designed to scale well,
because each networked device is not required to know about more than
its directly connected neighborhood.
