NDFC can be deployed to manage three fabric types—LAN, IPFM, and SAN. LAN stands for Local Area Network; NDFC supports two types of LAN fabrics —Brownfield deployments are applicable for existing fabrics, while Greenfield deployments are for new fabrics. For more information on ...
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) provides an enhanced "easy" fabric workflow for unified underlay and overlay provisioning of the Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) fabric configuration on Cisco Nexus and...
4.1.1.2 Fabric Resources for Brownfield Clusters Fabric requirements for subnets, VLAN and external connectivity do not need to be explicitly defined in the FabricInfra spec for imported clusters. Since these resources are already in use on the fabric, CKO will learn them at the time of importin...
Brownfield import must be completed for the entire fabric by adding all the switches to the NDFC fabric. On the Create Fabric window, the Advanced > Overlay Mode fabric setting decides how the overlays will be migrated. If the default...
Cisco Cloud Network Controller supports brownfield Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) onboarding. It allows you to copy configurations from the existing TGW, clone route tables, and create new Security Group (SG) rules. The solution: ●Allows easy, safe, and fast migration and rollba...
Multicast Routing with External PIM RoutersIn earlier days of ethernet networking, when switches were first introduced as the next generation of bridges, the first form of network segmentation was introduced, VLANs. VLANs were a single broadcast domain at the second layer of the OSI...
NDFC will also provide additional support for Cisco IOS®XR devices, Cisco ASR 9000 Series, and Cisco Network Convergence (NCS) 5500 Series, to be managed in external fabric in managed mode. NDFC will be able to generate and push configurations to these switches, ...

The migration use case includes connectivity to an external Layer 3 network. This document covers the concepts of interconnecting a Classic Ethernet brownfield environment with a new VXLAN BGP EVPN fabric. Limited background information is included on other related components whose understanding ...
