Question

Which kind of device should be used to configure and manage both physical and virtual networking devices throughout the network?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer

SDN controller

SDN is a software-defined network that acts as a centralized approach to the network that eliminates decision-making control from network devices and in turn gives responsibility to a product called an SDN controller.
SDN includes an application called an SDN controller, which acts as an architecture to manage flow control to improve network management and application performance.
It runs on a server and uses a protocol to communicate with switches where to send packets.
The SDN controller takes care of configuring and managing the management of physical and virtual devices in the network.
Instead of configuring an individual network device, the SDN controller is able to configure a group of network devices at once.
