2. Getting Started with Container Networking

• Get Docker software up and running alongside a Brocade VDX switch
fabric
• Docker helps configure the container side of networking via libnetwork
and Docker Swarm.

3. Option 1: For Orchestration and Visibility
• Container Network Configuration with Brocade
Workflow Composer (BWC)
• BWC enables you to write flexible workflows for
automation across domains such as physical network
fabrics, Docker containers, and ChatOps tools like
slack.
• Write a workflow to orchestrate your network when
Docker containers are spun up
• Post messages to your tools such as slack when
network events occur

4. Option 2: For Network Visibility
• Gaining visibility is easy with a Brocade fabric of VDX switches
• Write a Python script and run it via BWC or you can download
and run it on VDX switches.
• The Python script can interact with Docker Swarm via the API
to gain visibility into the containers
• Then it can talk to each VDX switch via NETCONF/REST to get
the physical switch information.
• The script can correlate the information to create a map of
your physical switch ports and connected hosts in a network
fabric.
