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

According to one example a VXLAN may be associated with a tunnel as follows. A first VTEP may receive a first notification message sent from a second VTEP via a first tunnel, wherein the first notification message may include a first VXLAN set indicating a VXLAN assigned to the second VTEP and capable of running via the first tunnel; the first VTEP may search for a first VXLAN included in both the first VXLAN set and a second VXLAN set, wherein the second VXLAN set may include a VXLAN assigned to the first VTEP and capable of running via the first tunnel; and in response to a determination that the first VXLAN is not associated with the first tunnel, the first VTEP may associates the first VXLAN with the first tunnel when the first VXLAN is found.

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 (Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network, Virtual Extensible Local Area Network) is an Overlay (overlay) network technology, using MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) in UDP (UserDatagram Protocol, User Datagram Protocol) method Encapsulation, that is, encapsulating the original message in a UDP message. [0003] VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point, VXLAN Tunnel Terminal) 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 (VXLAN Network Identifier, VXLAN network identifier), and the length of the VNI is 24 bits (bits). [0004] Since the VXLAN network needs...
