According to theJuniper Mist AI for Wired – Campus Fabric IP Clos Deployment Workflow, deploying a campus fabric involves a defined sequence of planning and configuration steps within the Mist Cloud interface. The key stages include:
“To deploy a campus fabric, you must first define the topology type, identify the physical connections between devices, and define the networks of interest that will be extended across the fabric.”
Breaking this down:
Choose the topology (D):Selecting the correct fabric type (3-Stage or 5-Stage IP Clos) determines how access, distribution, and core switches will interconnect.
Define the physical connections (A):This step involves specifying the uplink and downlink relationships between switches so that Mist can auto-generate EVPN-VXLAN and routing configurations.
Define the networks of interest (B):These are the VLANs and subnets that need to be extended across the fabric for user and device connectivity.
Steps such asconfiguring DNS serversordefining GBP tagsarenot part of the campus fabric deployment workflowin Mist Wired; they are optional or separate configurations outside the main deployment flow.
