Problems solved by technology

Therefore, if a certain VLAN is omitted during configuration, the eNode that selects this VLAN will fail to work
[0003] However, this requires that the devices included in the entire link from FCF to eNode must dynamically obtain FCoE VLAN information and configure all FCoE VLANs, and each eNode needs to obtain all VLAN information sent by FCF, which will increase the difficulty of configuration , and increase the cost of networking, thereby reducing market competitiveness

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and an apparatus for configuration of a virtual local area network. The method comprises the following steps that: a first message that is sent by forwarder equipment is received, wherein the first message carries a first virtual local area network (VLAN) listing; according to VLAN resource demand information of a downstream node and the first VLAN listing, a second VLAN listing is distributed to the node; and a second message is sent to the node and the second message carries the second VLAN listing, so that it is convenient that the node transmits data on a first network that is configured to the second VLAN listing. According to the method and the apparatus for configuration of the virtual local area network provided in the embodiment of the invention, a VLAN is distributed to a node according to VLAN resource demand information based on the node; therefore, a configuration difficulty is reduced and networking costs are saved; meanwhile, a risk that is brought by dynamically obtaining lots of VLAN information on networking can be avoided, so that market competitiveness of a network system can be substantially improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the communication field, and more specifically, to a method and device for configuring a virtual local area network. Background technique [0002] In a Fiber Channel over Ethernet ("FCoE") network, a node (eNode) is usually connected to an aggregation device such as a Fiber Channel Initialization Protocol Snooping Bridge ("FSB") , the FSB is then connected to a Fiber Channel Forwarder (FCF for short), and in some scenarios there may be a multi-hop cascading of the FSB. As an intermediate device, the FSB generally needs to statically configure an FCoE virtual local area network (Virtual Local Area Network, "VLAN" for short) to support FCoE forwarding. From a protocol point of view, the FCF assigns a VLAN list to the eNode, and the FSB device must obtain all the contents of the VLAN list before it can be statically configured to ensure the normal operation of the eNode. Therefore, if a certain VLAN is ...
