Understanding the iMaster NCE-Campus Deployment Process
????iMaster NCE-Campus is Huawei’s AI-driven network automation and management platform for campus networks.
????The deployment follows a structured sequence to ensure a fully operational network.
Detailed Explanation of Each Step:
✅1️⃣Network Planning(First Step)
Defines the overallnetwork architecture, topology, and business requirements.
DeterminesWAN, LAN, and WLAN coveragefor the campus.
EnsuresIP addressing, VLANs, and security policiesare planned.
✅2️⃣Site Design(Second Step)
Createssite layoutsand determinesdevice placement(switches, APs, routers).
Definespower, cabling, and uplink requirementsfor optimal connectivity.
✅3️⃣Device Management(Third Step)
Onboards network devices (e.g., switches, APs, firewalls) into iMaster NCE-Campus.
Configuresinitial settingssuch asIP addresses, interfaces, and SNMP settings.
Ensuresdevices are registered and reachablein the management platform.
✅4️⃣Fabric Management(Fourth Step)
EstablishesVXLAN-based network fabricforautomated Layer 2/3 connectivity.
ConfiguresEVPN/VXLAN overlays, VTEPs, and underlay routing.
✅5️⃣VN (Virtual Network) Management(Fifth Step)
Definesvirtual networks (VNs) for different departments, tenants, or services.
ConfiguresQoS, ACLs, and network segmentation policies.
✅6️⃣Service Deployment(Final Step)
Activatesnetwork services like DHCP, security policies, and application access.
Ensures thatend-user connectivity and application traffic policies are in place.
Why Is This the Correct Order?
✅Each step builds upon the previous one, ensuring a smooth and structured deployment process.
✅Service deployment comes last because it finalizes user access and application connectivity.
Real-World Application:
Enterprise Campus Networks:Deployssecure, scalable campus connectivity with AI-based automation.
University Campuses & Smart Cities:UsesSDN-driven network segmentation and automationto simplify operations.
