Pods (Datacenter)

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Pods to go to the Pods view.

Network management interface showing staged physical pods with configurations, rack types, uncommitted changes, and ASN and IP details for data center infrastructure.

You can search for specific nodes or links.

From the Pods view, you can view pod capacity and change pod names. 3-stage topologies can have only one pod. If your topology is for 5-stage, you can add and remove entire pods. The ability to add pods to your running blueprint allows for organic growth of large networks without having to pre-design every pod. For more information about building 5-stage topologies, see 5-stage Clos Architecture.

See the following sections for more information about adding, editing and deleting pods.
