Every Overlay Network solution requires IP reachability between edge devices via Underlay Network. This section explains the basic routing solution in Underlay Network from Campus Fabric, SD-WAN, and Datacenter Fabric perspectives. Figure 7-1 illustrates the IP reachability requirements for Campus Fabric, SD-WAN, and Datacenter Fabric.

Hello my friend,
Just the last week we finished our Zero-to-Hero Network Automation Training, which was very intensive and very interesting. The one could think: it is time for vacation now!.. Not quite yet. We decided to use the time wisely and upgrade our lab to bring possibilities for customers to use it. Lab upgrade means a major infrastructure project, which involves brining new hardware, changing topology and new software to simplify its management. Sounds interesting? Jump to details!

This last week I was talking to someone at a small startup that intends to eliminate all the complex routing from campus networks. In the past, when reading blog posts about Kubernetes, I’ve read about how it was designed to eliminate routing protocols because “routing protocols are so complex.”
Color me skeptical.
There are two reasons for complexity in a design. The first is you’re solving a hard problem. The second is you’ve made bad design choices in the past, and you’re pasting complexity on top to solve some perceived problem (whether perceived or real).
The problem with all this talk about building something that’s “less complex” is people tend to see complexity of the first kind and think, “we can get rid of that complexity if we start over.” Failing to understand the past before building the future is a recipe for repeated failures of the same kind. Building a network without a distributed routing protocol hasn’t been tried before either, right? Well, yes, it has … We either forget how it turned out, or we say “well, that’s not the same thing I’m talking about here” (just like “real socialism hasn’t ever been tried”).
Even worse, Continue reading
