| abstract |
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for collecting node information from a structure and generating a model based on the node information. In some examples, the system may obtain a logical model of the SDN from one or more controllers in a software-defined network (SDN), the logical model containing information from a hierarchical management information tree (MIT) associated with the SDN for The object of the SDN configuration, and the logical model represents the configuration of the object, the hierarchical MIT defines the manageable objects and object properties of the SDN, and the objects correspond to the manageable objects. The system can obtain a topology model of the fabric associated with the SDN, and based on the topology model, poll the nodes in the fabric to obtain the corresponding configuration at the node. Based on the corresponding configuration, the system can generate a node-specific representation of the logical model that projects the logical model on each corresponding node. |
