Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically adapting virtualized network functions (VNFs) to different target environments. A controller stores device profiles that include configuration data and workflows for resolving configuration parameters for instantiating and deploying a VNF package to form a network service. To support the resolution of VNF configuration parameters, a VNF descriptor for the VNF is extended to include a device family parameter that indicates a shared architecture and configuration parameters. The controller, when instantiating the VNF, may identify a device profile usable for resolving the configuration parameters for the VNF and obtain configuration data from the device profile for creating and configuring a VNF instance for the VNF descriptor. Extending the VNF descriptor to specify a device family allows the VNF to be flexibly adapted for different target environments and may avoid the use of numerous pre-defined VNF descriptors.

Abstract: A virtual port group abstraction can facilitate automated configuration of devices in a data center. For example, a data center administrator can define a virtual port group to include a set of logical and physical interfaces for devices allocated to a particular department or other group within a company. An administrator for the department can then utilize a user interface to perform actions with respect to the virtual port group. The actions can include configuration actions, modeling actions and/or deployment actions. An action received by a network management controller such as a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller can be converted into the appropriate actions for the relevant logical and physical interfaces that are configured to be part of the virtual port group.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller with real-time or near-real time visibility of the operation of data center fabrics to determine whether the DCI was properly configured. For example, an SDN controller receives high-level configuration data that describes a desired state of a network managed by the SDN controller at a high level of abstraction. The SDN controller applies a transformation function to the high-level configuration data to generate a low-level configuration data for network devices configured to implement the desired state of the network. SDN controller configures the SDN controller as a peer to the network devices to obtain one or more routes exchanged between the network devices. The SDN controller sends the low-level configuration data to the network devices to cause the network devices to implement the desired state of the network.

The configuration can be migrated to a full functionality SDN controller.
