Abstract
A computer implemented method for validating a device during installation to a software defined network (SDN). The method comprises receiving data associated with the device during installation thereof. Validating the device using the received data. Providing a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network. Generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing device validation data. Dispatching the co-controller to the device during installation. Controlling installation of the device to the software defined network based on the device validation data.
Claims28
A computer implemented method for validating a device during installation to a software defined network (SDN);
- the method comprising:
- receiving data associated with the device during installation;
- validating the device using the received data;
- providing a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing device validation data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device during installation;
- and
- controlling installation of the device to the software defined network based on the device validation data.
A network controller for a software defined network (SDN), the network controller comprising one or more modules operable to:
- receive data associated with the device during installation;
- validating the device using the received data;
- provide a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generate a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing device validation data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device during installation;
- and
- controlling installation of the device to the software defined network based on the device validation data.
An article of manufacture comprising a processor-readable medium having embodied therein executable program code that when executed by the processing device causes the processing device to perform:
- receive data associated with the device during installation;
- validating the device using the received data;
- provide a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing device validation data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device during installation;
- and
- controlling installation of the device to the software defined network based on the device validation data.
