Virtual network connection configuration realizing method and network equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a virtual network connection configuration realizing method, which comprises the steps that: a virtual network management center obtains medium access control (MAC) authentication request messages initiated by new MAC addresses detected by a self physical interface by an edge switch, wherein the new MAC addresses are generated through virtual memory (VM) shift or creation, in addition, MAC addresses carried in the message and interface messages of the edge switch are obtained, the corresponding network configuration is found in self maintenance VM and virtual switch interface (VSI) type binding information according to MAC addresses, and the found network configuration is issued to a corresponding interface of the edge switch in accordance with the interface information. Based on the same invention idea, the invention also provides network equipment which can accurately shift the network configuration in real time under the condition of simple configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a virtual network connection configuration realization method and network equipment. Background technique [0002] After the introduction of virtualization technology in scenarios such as data centers, the location where virtual servers are connected to the network is often not fixed. For example, virtual machine migration (VMotion) caused by HA, DRS, DPM, etc., or VMotion caused by a predetermined resource monitoring strategy, the virtual server (VM) may change its network location at any time. [0003] When creating a VM or migrating vMotion, whether the VM host can run normally depends not only on the reasonable scheduling of resources on the server, but also the reasonable scheduling of its network connections, such as ACL, QoS, VLAN and other network configurations. In order to ensure the business continuity of the VM, in addition to the virtualization software can e...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] The disadvantage of the second solution is that the configuration is too complicated and requires the simultaneous cooperation of virtual network management center, virtualization management software, virtualization software (hypervisor & vSwitch), and edge switch. Existing products with these roles must be modified to support 802.1Qbg standard

802.1Qbg only standardizes the interaction between the virtual switch (vSwtich) and the edge switch, but does not define the interaction between the virtualization management software and the virtual network management center. There are private implementations, and it is difficult to match the solution. strict

[0009] It can be seen from the above that neither of the two existing solutions can accurately migrate the network configuration in real time when the configuration is simple.
