Abstract
A network provisioning device comprises an administrative interface for instantiating a virtual circuit definition to communicatively couple a set of endpoint devices in a network fabric, and a virtual circuit constructor. The virtual circuit constructor converts the virtual circuit definition into Layer-2 provisioning commands, selects a target set of networking nodes that connect to the endpoint devices, and transmits the Layer-2 provisioning commands to the target set of networking nodes. VXLAN virtual circuit provisioning in the target set of networking nodes establishes a VXLAN circuit to communicatively couple the endpoint devices.
