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.
