 Challenges in the Enterprise
Network Today Today’s enterprise:
Changes can break
something or open
CLOUD
PROVIDER WAN INTERNET a security gap!
Today’s
Campus Scale – Multiple points of the network are
replicated over an over and over again to
provide scale
Core

Reliability – multiple single points of failure

can exist either from a physical or virtual
Distribution point of view

Wiring Closet Complexity – We still implement multiple

layers in the network using a three tier
design with L2 Vlan’s everywhere
 Challenges in the Enterprise
Network Today Today’s enterprise:

CLOUD

Today’s
Campus Adds, moves and changes difficult to co-
ordinate, keep track off and implement on
mass
Core

Cumbersome to rapidly deploy and change

at speed and troubleshooting applications
Distribution and users can be equally challenging

Wiring Closet Support and licensing costs based on

single boxes adding to an every increasing
CAPEX and OPEX

 Traditional Campus
WAN
Core Layer:
• L3 Central Point
• Multi-10GbE

Distribution Layer:
• L2 demarcation between L2 & L3
• Aggregation point for Access
Layer

Access Layer:
• PoE, 10/100/1000Mbps
• Stacks/VC for pockets of single
management
 Core Layer
WAN

Core Layer:
• Becomes your aggregation layer
or AD for the whole network
• It also becomes your central
point of management of the
whole network
• Every device attached to
aggregation layer becomes a line
card or satellite device
• Licensing is centralised to the
two AD’s but SD’s inherit the
AD’s license capabilities
 Distribution Layer
WAN

Distribution Layer:
• Can become a AD for the
building it is located in or a SD of
the core
• If a AD, then licensing is placed
here for all SD attached
• Software images are stored in
the AD to distribute to SD’s
• Local or centralised switching or
routing
• Or collapse the distribution layer
in to the core
 Access Layer
WAN

Access Layer:
• Smaller Linux image
• Multiple images per a switch
• Different code versions
supported
• Local or central switching
• License inherited from AD
• Support individual or stack
switches
 Fusion Campus –
Option 1
WAN

• Simply clusters based on a

single building or floor
• Single virtual Switches covering
up to 6000 ports or 128 devices
• Single point of management and
control
 Fusion Campus –
Option 2
WAN

• Single cluster across whole

campus
• Single virtual Switches covering
up to 6000 ports or 128 devices
• Single point of management and
control
