Role-Based IP Distribution to create the highest value.
• Benefit from flexible network, ADCampus changes the traditional rule of location- The company employs 10,000
based IP distribution to role-based IP distribution and ultimately achieves “IP is User, people with half of them are
Network is Application” in user network. engaged in R&D.
• The value of “IP is User” is achieving one-to-one correspondence between user
and IP. Not only focus on IP control, also users, which help with people auditing.
Meanwhile, the bundle between terminal and IP indirectly realizes safe connection of
terminals.
• The value of “Network is Application” lies in coupling IP network segment and user
group or application. Upon control of IP network segment, we also get control
of user group and application. Therefore, an ACL can help achieve isolation of
application.

“Network Adapt To Users” Campus Network

• In traditional campus network, to ensure consistency of user permission or isolate user group, network configuration must
be modified constantly upon change of user’s location which brings massive investment on equipment deployment and,
increase operation and maintenance workload. On the other hand, frequent modification on configuration will also lead to
breakdown due to manual operation.
• ADCampus Solution realized “Network Adapt to Users” by allowing network resources (e.g. IP address, security resources,
isolated channels) and network policy (e.g. access and security policy) to follow movement of users and devices directly and
has nothing to do with devices location, intermediate network nor access method. The network will detect the attribute of
user device and isolate auto connect via automatic identification, marking and policy allocation.
• As network operation and maintenance are greatly simplified upon users location change, network utilization can be
improved as well as lower the chance of breakdown due to change done by manual operation.

• On application level, ADCampus Solution can achieve user based resources allocation and define matrix group policy. In
network level, devices can be connected as well as user and network policy can be deployed automatically. Meanwhile, users
can access anywhere at terminal level. Each level is independent which help achieve independent operation and maintenance.

Conclusion
ADCampus Solution integrates the latest overlay+SDN technology and suggest the flexible network concept which
successfully solves operation and maintenance issue due to location binding during campus construction, separation between
wired and wireless network and network isolation. Enable network to detect, identify and update automatically and achieve
“Network Adapt to User” among campus network, ultimately, fulfilling the emerging need of network mobilization, effective
management, simplifying operation and maintenance under the hot rising mobilizing and IoT.
