Abstract

Software defined network (SDN) is a new computer network configuration concept in which the data plane and control plane are separated. In Cisco system, the SDN concept is implemented in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI), which by default can be configured through the main controller, namely the Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC). Conventional configuration on Cisco ACI creates problems, i.e.: the large number of required configurations causes the increase of time required for configuration and the risk of misconfiguration due to repetitive works. This problem reduces the productivity of network engineers in managing Cisco system. In overcoming these problems, this research work proposes an automation tool for Cisco ACI configuration using Ansible and Python as an SDN implementation for optimizing enterprise network configuration. The SDN is implemented and experimented at PT. NTT Indonesia Technology network, as a case study. The experimental result shows the proposed SDN successfully performs multiple routers configurations accurately and automatically. Observations on manual configuration takes 50 minutes and automatic configuration takes 6 minutes, thus, the proposed SDN achieves 833.33% improvement.
