Problems solved by technology

However, when establishing a VXLAN tunnel manually, it needs to rely on user configuration or a third-party private protocol to complete, which increases the complexity of the network. When using a private protocol to establish a VXLAN tunnel, it may occur due to mismatching user configurations at both ends of the VXLAN tunnel. The establishment of the VXLAN tunnel fails, and when the above situations occur, the cause of the failure of the establishment of the VXLAN tunnel cannot be determined, resulting in the failure to establish the VXLAN tunnel in time, reducing the efficiency of the establishment of the VXLAN tunnel, and affecting user experience.

Abstract

The embodiments of the invention provide a VXLAN tunnel detection method and apparatus, and relate to the technical field of communication, for feeding back causes of VXLAN tunnel establishment failure and improving VXLAN tunnel establishment efficiency. The method comprises the following steps: a first device receiving second tunnel configuration information sent by a second device; matching the second tunnel configuration information with first tunnel configuration information on the first device; and when the first tunnel configuration information does not match the second tunnel configuration information, the first device sending a fault message to the second device, wherein tunnel configuration information comprises a mapping relation between an IP address of a destination end of a VXLAN tunnel and a virtual network identifier (VNID), and the tunnel configuration information is used for establishing a VXLAN tunnel for the first device and the second device. The method and apparatus provided by embodiments of the invention are applied to detection of the VXLAN tunnel.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communication field, and in particular, to a method and device for VXLAN tunnel detection. Background technique [0002] A virtual extensible local area network (Virtual Extensible Local Area Network, VXLAN) technology is a technology used to extend network virtualization to obtain a sufficient number of virtual networks to satisfy users. VXLAN technology creates a large number of virtual scalable local area networks on the existing network architecture by establishing VXLAN tunnels. Different virtual scalable local area networks are identified by VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier, virtual scalable local area network identifier). [0003] There are two ways to establish a VXLAN tunnel in the prior art: one is to establish using a private protocol, and the other is to establish manually. However, when establishing a VXLAN tunnel manually, it needs to rely on user configuration or a third-party private prot...
