Abstract
A network fabric deployment system includes a fabric deployment management system that is coupled to a DHCP server. The fabric deployment management system generates a cloud-based network fabric that is based on a network fabric topology file and that includes a plurality of cloud-based networking devices that are assigned a physical networking device identifier that identifies a corresponding physical networking device. The fabric deployment management system configures and validates each of the plurality of cloud-based networking devices causing each physical networking device identifier being mapped to an IP address at the DHCP server and then retrieves a deployment image file from each of the plurality of cloud-based networking devices that have been configured and validated, and stores each of the deployment image files in a database in association with the physical networking device identifier such that the corresponding physical networking device boots from that deployment image file.
