Configuration of EVPN topologies using a user interface

A method comprising:

• generating, by one or more processors of a network management system, data representative of a common user interface (UI) for display on a display device, the data representative of the common UI comprising UI elements representing a plurality of network devices to be configured in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) topology, the UI elements for each of the plurality of network devices to be configured in the EVPN topology generated for display on the common UI;
• receiving, via the common UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting one or more of the UI elements representing one or more selected network devices of the plurality of network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• generating, by the network management system, UI elements representing a plurality of ports of the one or more selected network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• receiving, via the common UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting the UI elements representing one or more selected ports of the one or more selected network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• and
• generating, by the network management system and based on the one or more selected network devices and one or more selected ports of the one or more selected network devices, topology relationship information of the one or more selected devices to establish the EVPN topology.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure processing circuitry to:

• generate data representative of a common user interface (UI) for display on a display device, the data representative of the common UI comprising UI elements representing a plurality of network devices to be configured in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) topology, the UI elements for each of the plurality of network devices to be configured in the EVPN topology generated for display on the common UI;
• receive, via the common UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting one or more of the UI elements representing selected network devices of the plurality of network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• generate UI elements representing a plurality of ports of the selected network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• receive, via the common UI on the display device, an indication of a user input selecting the UI elements representing selected ports of the selected network devices to establish the EVPN topology;
• and
• generate, based on the selected network devices and selected ports of the selected network devices, topology relationship information of the selected devices to establish the EVPN topology.
