Methods for performing pre-build validation of distributed disaggregated
white box routing systems are disclosed. One method includes connecting, via a
physical network connection, to a distributed, disaggregated
white box routing
system comprising a plurality of hardware components connected by a plurality of cable connections and a plurality of interfaces, executing a
software program simulating a
network operating system of a network operator, analyzing, while the
software program is executing and the distributed, disaggregated
white box routing
system is connected via the
physical network connection, the plurality of hardware components, the plurality of cable connections, or the plurality of interfaces, determining that an error is detected in at least one of: the plurality of cable connections, the plurality of interfaces, or the plurality of hardware components of the distributed, disaggregated white box routing
system, and generating a report showing at least one of: a location or a nature of the error.
