On a traditional network, network planning, configuration, and O&M are performed by professional network engineers. In contrast, on an SDN network, network services are abstracted, orchestrated, and automatically provisioned on demand through a centralized network control system.
This statement describes the fundamental shift from traditional networking to the SDN (Software-Defined Networking) model used in Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Campus. By using iMaster NCE-Campus, the network complexity is hidden behind a GUI. Instead of manual, box-by-box configuration (CLI), services are defined as 'intents' (e.g., 'Guest Access' or 'Production Fabric'), which the controller then automatically translates into configurations and deploys across the entire network fabric.
