Campus Network and Solution Overview

Foreword
⚫
Campuses are everywhere in our cities. Some examples of campuses include factories, government buildings and
facilities, shopping malls, office buildings, school campuses, and parks. According to statistics, 90% of urban residents
work and live in campuses, 80% of gross domestic product (GDP) is created in campuses, and each person stays in
campuses for 18 hours every day.
⚫
Campus networks, as the infrastructure for campuses to connect to the digital world, are an indispensable part of
campus construction and play an increasingly important role in daily working, R&D, production, and operation
management.
⚫
Campus networks vary in sizes and differ with industry attributes. From the perspective of industries that campus
networks serve, there are different campus networks. Typical industry campus networks include school, government,
commercial, office, and manufacturing campus networks.
⚫
This course introduces the concepts, typical networking scenarios, and typical architectures of enterprise campus
networks, as well as the requirements, trends, and challenges of campus networks. It also briefly introduces Huawei

Overview of a Campus Network
⚫ A campus network generally refers to the internal network of
an enterprise or organization, which is connected to the wide
area network (WAN) and data center network.
⚫ A campus network is built to ensure that key enterprise services
are running more efficiently.
⚫ Campus networks can be classified into large- and medium-
sized campus networks and small- and medium-sized campus
networks by scale.
⚫ Some enterprises have branches dispersed in different
geographical locations. Each branch network can be considered
as a single campus network.

• 1st-generation campus network:

▫ In 1980, IEEE released the IEEE 802.3 standard, signaling the birth of
Ethernet technology. By using twisted pair connections, Ethernet was more
cost-effective and easier to implement than previous networking
technologies. Consequently, Ethernet quickly became the mainstream
technology for campus networks. During the early days, campus networks
used hubs as access devices. A hub was a shared-medium device that
worked at the physical layer. It was limited in the number of users it could
support for concurrent access. If many users connected to a hub
simultaneously, network performance degraded severely due to the
expanded collision domain. In the late 1980s, Ethernet switches emerged.
Due to their more advantageous working scheme than hubs, Ethernet
switches therefore quickly replaced hubs to become the standard
components of campus networks
• 2nd-generation campus network:
▫ In the 1990s, the growing popularity of World Wide Web (WWW) and
instant messaging software posed great bandwidth challenges for campus
networks. This, however, could not be met on a router-based campus
backbone network. Against this backdrop, Layer 3 switches were developed
in 1996. A Layer 3 switch is also called a routed switch because it integrates
both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing functions. Such a switch came
with a simple and efficient Layer 3 forwarding engine designed and
optimized for campus scenarios. Its Layer 3 routing capabilities were
approximately equivalent to Layer 2 switching performance. Layer 3
switches allow computers to access the campus network, provide high-
performance network connections, and meet the requirements of various
WWW-based multimedia services and office systems.
• 3rd-generation campus network
▫ As we all know, smart mobile terminals first emerged in 2007. Since then,
they quickly became popular and reached a wide audience. Driven by this,
Wi-Fi technology also developed rapidly. Wi-Fi has subsequently become
deeply integrated into and a typical feature of campus networks. SDN has
also been introduced to campus networks in order to simplify services. This
generation of campus networks generally meets the requirements of
enterprises that are in the early stages of wireless transformation. However,
Wi-Fi networks cannot deliver a high enough service quality, and therefore
can only be used as a supplement to wired networks.

• Campus networks have constantly evolved and made dramatic improvements in

terms of bandwidth, scale, and service convergence. However, they face new
challenges in connectivity, experience, O&M, security, and ecosystem as digital
transformation sweeps across all industries. For example, IoT services require
ubiquitous connections; HD video, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality
(VR) services call for high-quality networks; and a huge number of devices
require simplified service deployment and network O&M. To address these
challenges, industry vendors gradually introduce new technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data to campus networks, and they also launch
a series of new solutions.
Service Requirements and Challenges of Large- and
Medium-sized Campus Networks
Converged network

User experience awareness
Requirement:
Network O&M needs to be automated and
intelligent to perceive user experience anytime

Challenge:
⚫ Service faults cannot be detected in a timely
manner.
⚫ After a fault occurs, the fault cause is
located by relying heavily on the personal
O&M experience of professionals. As a result,
the fault cannot be quickly located.
⚫ The network cannot be automatically
optimized.
Network automation
Requirement:
Networks need to be automated to cope with
complex deployment and policies caused by
the surge of applications and services.
Challenge:
⚫ The workload of repetitive tasks is heavy,
and manual configuration is complex.
⚫ New service provisioning requires
configuration of devices one by one, which is
time-consuming and costly.
