Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating switch-level logical models of a network. In some examples, a system can obtain a logical model of a network, such as software-defined network (SDN). The logical model can represent a configuration of objects and object properties defined based on a schema associated with the network. Based on the logical model, the system can generate a rendered logical model of the network and, based on the rendered logical model, generate, for one or more network devices in the network, a respective device-specific representation of the logical model. The respective device-specific representation can project the logical model to a respective network device, such as a switch in the fabric of the network.
