Abstract
A method and system for auto provisioning a data center network having a plurality of switches interconnected in a folded Clos topology includes each switch advertising information about itself to neighboring switches and locally storing received information. The configuration server queries information stored by one switch and uses a predefined protocol and the information stored by the one switch to query each switch neighboring the one switch about the information stored locally by the each switch neighboring the one switch to generate a database having topology information of the data center network. Configuration settings for each switch in the data center network are generated, with each generated configuration setting corresponding to one switch. The configuration server uses the predefined protocol and the database having topology information of the data center network to send the configuration settings to the corresponding one switch for each switch in the data center network.
