AIDC Network Controller Overview

Deploy an AI Backend Compute Fabric

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the AIDC Controller and its typical use cases?

The AIDC Controller is a high-performance management platform designed for AI Data Centers. It automates deployment across four main scenarios:

Backend Network: High-bandwidth, low-latency Spine-Leaf architectures.
Frontend Network: Service isolation and reliability via EVPN-MCLAG.
Storage Network: Lossless data transfer using RoCE and MCLAG.
DC Convergence Network: Standard Spine-Leaf networking supporting both EVPN-MCLAG and EVPN-Multi-homing

What are the hardware requirements for the controller?

We recommend deploying on an x86 server running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (or higher) with Docker 20+.

Asterfusion CX-N series switches natively support the deployment of this controller.

Is the deployment complicated? Does it support containers?

Not at all. It supports one-click installation and is fully containerized. Just upload the .bin file to your server, run the installation command to set the Controller IP, and use docker-compose up -d to launch the full suite of microservices.

I have hundreds of switches. How do I add them to the controller quickly?

You can follow a simple two-step process:

Bulk Import: Upload an Excel/CSV template containing device MAC addresses, models, and Loopback IPs.
Auto-Onboarding: Automatically plan the topology for a selected scenario. Once all devices in the planned topology are online and connected, the controller will discover and identify them automatically.

Can I get immediate notifications if the network fails?

Yes. The controller features robust Alarm Management covering dozens of metrics, including:

Interface Up/Down status and Optical Power anomalies.
IP/MAC flapping.
Hardware issues (Fan/Power Supply failures).

Can the controller automate routine maintenance and inspections?

Yes. The “Automated Inspection” feature removes the need for manual checks:

Scheduled Inspections: Set tasks to run daily, weekly, or monthly. The system runs quietly in the background.
One-Click Health Checks: Instantly perform a deep “physical exam” on specific network areas.
Inspection Reports: Detailed records are generated automatically and can be exported as PDFs for your maintenance records.
