SDN migration

SDN migration

We have one HK customer who interested in Extreme SDN Product. They’re asking how to migrate to SDN from their existing network. Is it possible to run the existing network (L3 routing is OSPF) and SDN concurrently in their existing core (BD8K) and distribution switch (X460)? For example, OSPF routing and SDN Controls run in one box concurrently. If so, how to control the forwarding path in the core and distribution switch.

As I cannot find any reference SDN document mentioning this strategy. Would you pls help? Thanks.

Ken,

You can run SDN in a mixed mode by the concept of a Hybrid mode with openflow. You can find more information here.. http://www.extremenetworks.com/solutions/sdn - Please let me know if you need more information and I will have someone contact you.
