Embodiment Construction

[0030] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the manual configuration of VXLAN and TUNNEL is associated with a heavy workload and is prone to errors, the following embodiments of this application provide a method for associating VXLAN and tunnels, and a method that can be applied device.

[0031] The method for associating a VXLAN with a tunnel in this embodiment of the present application may be performed by any VTEP in the VXLAN network.

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, the method for associating a VXLAN and a tunnel in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S102, pre-configuring rules corresponding to VXLAN and tunnels;

[0034] Step S104, after configuring a VXLAN, associate the VXLAN with the corresponding tunnel according to the pre-configured corresponding rules.

[0035] In the actual implementation process, the rules corresponding to the VXLAN and the tunnel can be configured according to actual require...

Abstract

The invention discloses an association method of a VXLAN and a tunnel and an apparatus thereof. The method is applied to a VTEP in a VXLAN network. The method comprises the following steps of configuring a corresponding relation of the VXLAN and the tunnel in advance; through a tunnel configured on equipment, receiving a notification message sent by an opposite terminal VTEP to the tunnel, wherein the received notification message carries a VNI of the current VXLAN corresponding to the tunnel on the opposite terminal VTEP; aiming at each current VXLAN corresponding to the tunnel on the equipment, if the same VXLAN exists in the VXLAN indicated by the VNI carried by the received notification message and the VXLAN on the equipment is not associated with the tunnel, associating the VXLAN on the equipment and the tunnel. In the invention, the VTEPs of two ends of the tunnel can be dynamically negotiated to determine the VXLAN which can be associated with the tunnel so that automatic association of the VXLAN configured on the VTEP and the tunnel is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of network communication, and in particular to a method and device for associating a VXLAN with a tunnel. Background technique [0002] VXLAN (VirtualeXtensibleLocalAreaNetwork, Virtual Extensible Local Area Network) is an Overlay (overlapping) network technology, using MAC (MediaAccessControl, Media Access Control) inUDP (UserDatagramProtocol, User Datagram Protocol) method for encapsulation, that is, the original message is encapsulated in In the UDP packet. [0003] VTEP (VXLANTunnelEndPoint, VXLAN Tunnel End Point) is the edge device of the VXLAN network, which can be implemented by a physical switch or a virtual switch. VTEPs establish tunnels (TUNNEL) to traverse the three-layer network for data communication. The VXLAN network is uniquely identified by a VNI (VXLANNetworkIdentifier, VXLAN network identifier), and the length of the VNI is 24 bits (bits). [0004] Since the VXLAN network nee...
