Abstract

See full text

Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a respective rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the respective rack. A request is received, from a client device via a portal, to configure a first rack of the data center. Configuration data is received, from the client device, for a first virtual network to be accessed by a first computing device mounted in the first rack. In response to receiving the configuration data, a first TOR switch of the first rack is configured, which includes associating the first virtual network with the first TOR switch.
