VALIDATION OF A USER-DEFINED CABLING PLAN FOR A COMPUTER NETWORK BASED ON A PHYSICAL CABLING TOPOLOGY

Abstract:

In some examples, a software-defined networking engine is configured to receive a user-defined cabling plan for a computer network and receive information indicative of a physical cabling topology for the computer network. The software-defined networking engine is also configured to determine a difference between the user-defined cabling plan and the physical cabling topology. The software-defined networking engine is further configured to output an indication of the difference between the user-defined cabling plan and the physical cabling topology.
