Thanks Rajat. Much appreciated you share this with the list. Allow me a few questions. Sorry if they are out of scope since I don't know all the context.
* How large can be the deployments of a CBW? * What operating system you choose for the switches? * Is the network team developer enough in its mindset to program some advanced rules/automation or handle the Linux CLI? * Do you mass update the entire fleet of switches? Do you have a Dev/Test pipeline in place for such changes? * Was the architecture and hardware sort of over-provisioned for future use cases (ex: x86 CPU, more memory, more ports, bigger ports, fiber)? Looking at your web site, I understand you may have a lot of small/mid size deployments, all independent of each other, using the broadband connection only for management purpose to your datacenter and not for workload traffic. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Jeremy, We have design what we called an "Open Branch" ; An open open branch constitutes of such OCP CBW PoE switches and one or more OCP CBW Wi-Fi APs. The WI-Fi APs are wired to the branch switches while more devices are directly plugged to the PoE switch or connect wirelessly via OCP CBW Wi-Fi units. Further, there may be multiple such sites in a campus environment. OCP Wi-FI units are capable of broadcasting multiple virtual SSIDs and each SSID is mapped to a different VLAN. A branch network controller in the cloud, provisions each of such VLANs and provides policies such that certain VLANs terminate in the site itself , while some are terminated to the data center using L2 overlays like GRE. Some VLANs are Open Flow controlled by the network controller and some are not. An overall topology is shown below.

(desk/phones+connection between buildings) I would be interested in the approaches that were taken to transition from a legacy system to a new one based on open technologies, taking also into consideration future applications. Thanks.
