VPC Creation

Switch OS Upgrade

VPC Deletion

Creates a virtual private cloud (VPC) with automated route distinguisher assignment and namespace configuration.

A VPC is an overlay network, using virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) with route distinguishers (RDs). Currently, Spectrum-X is the only supported VPC platform.

Typically, Spectrum-X tenant isolation is handled by the DPU with Astra, but where a DPU-based isolation solution (such as NiCo + Astra) is not available, Config Manager supports isolation at the Switch port level on the underlay instead.

Experimental

This workflow is experimental and not intended for general use. Use it only in test or pilot environments.

User Interface

Form Inputs

FieldDescriptionSelection TypeRequired
SiteChoose the site for VPC deploymentSingle dropdown from available sitesYes
VPC IDUnique identifier for the new VPCText input fieldYes
DescriptionHuman-readable description of the VPCText input fieldYes
NamespaceTenant namespace for VPC isolationText input field (default: “spectrumx”)Yes
RD MinMinimum route distinguisher valueNumeric input (default: 60000)Yes
RD MaxMaximum route distinguisher valueNumeric input (default: 65000)Yes

The route distinguisher minimum (RD Min) must be less than the route distinguisher maximum (RD Max). The workflow validates this constraint before submission.

Workflow Execution

Execution Stages

  1. Validate VPC configuration
  2. Allocate network resources
  3. Configure VPC infrastructure
  4. Verify VPC deployment
