Campus Fabric Configuration

SUMMARY Use the information in this chapter to learn more about campus fabric, migrate to a campus fabric, and configure multihoming, core-distribution, and IP Clos.

Video Overview

Watch this video for a quick introduction to campus fabric and these three deployment options: multihoming, core-distribution, and IP Clos.

Designing and deploying a campus network is daunting. You need to consider spaces, users, devices, IoT applications, security, and mobility, let alone scale. Plus, ACL sprawl and policy enforcement are a nightmare.

How do you assure security and success for your users, teams, and stakeholders? It's time to upgrade your wired network with CampusFabric. What is CampusFabric? Born in modern cloud data centers with EVPN VXLAN, CampusFabric safely and flexibly extends L2VLANs across buildings and geographies, while securing traffic with pain-free micro-segmentation. And now, Juniper has made it simple to design, deploy, and operate a CampusFabric.

First, select the right topology. For small to medium sites, such as a single-story campus or a big-box retail, EVPN multi-homing does the trick and helps you eliminate STP or MC lag. Large campuses, like universities, can use Campus Fabric Core Distribution, leaving your access layer as-is while extending your Layer 2 seamlessly.

And for large greenfield deployments, like a new hospital, choose IP-CLOS to make use of micro-segmentation, bringing Layer 3 down to the access. Now, select your switches. Finally, apply configurations and policies. Within minutes, your Campus Fabric is up and running. Welcome to Campus Fabric, driven by Mist AI.
