In the Huawei CloudCampus Solution, switches must be able toautomatically connect to and be managed by iMaster NCE-Campus. To achieve this, Huawei provides specificdeployment and onboarding modesthat allow switches to discover the controller and establish a management relationship. According to HCIP Datacom Campus Network documentation, Huawei switches supportHuawei registration centerandDHCP Option 148as standard deployment modes.
TheHuawei registration centeris a cloud-based mechanism that enables devices to automatically register with iMaster NCE-Campus after they are powered on and connected to the network. Once registered, the controller can identify, authenticate, and centrally manage the switches without requiring manual configuration. This mode is commonly used in cloud-managed or large-scale deployments where zero-touch provisioning is required.
DHCP Option 148is another supported deployment mode. Through this option, the DHCP server provides the address information of iMaster NCE-Campus to the switch during IP address allocation. After receiving this information, the switch automatically establishes a management connection with the controller. This method is widely used in enterprise campus environments where DHCP services are already available.
In contrast, theWeb interfaceandCLIare local device management methods, not deployment modes in the CloudCampus architecture. They are mainly used for basic configuration, troubleshooting, or initial setup, rather than for controller-based deployment.
Therefore, the correct deployment modes supported by Huawei switches in the CloudCampus Solution areHuawei registration centerandDHCP Option 148.
