Afterwards, when the traffic sent to the VM arrives at the VTEP, the VTEP cannot find the MAC address of the VM in the local MAC address table, and will broadcast the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, Address Resolution Protocol) requests, resulting in a waste of network resources

Abstract

The invention discloses an MAC address aging processing method and device, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the aging processing of a first VM in a local media access control MAC address table under the condition that an MAC address table entry of the first VM which is connected to a VTEP device in a local media access control MAC address table meets a preset condition; broadcasting an ARP request packet carrying a first preset OP indication value in a two-layer network segment connected to the VTEP; and in response to receiving an ARP response packet sent by any VM which is connected to the VTEP in a preset duration and obtaining a second preset OP indication value from the ARP response packet, re-timing the aging time of the MAC address table entry of any VM which is connected to the VTEP. The situation that the VTEP broadcasts the flow in the downlink two-layer domain can be effectively reduced, and therefore network resources are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of virtual extended local area network, in particular to a method for processing MAC address aging, a virtual extended local area network tunnel endpoint device, and a virtual machine device. Background technique [0002] In the VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network, virtual extended local area network) network, VM (Virtual Machine, virtual machine) is connected to VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point, virtual extended local area network tunnel end point), if the VM is in the MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address aging time expires before neither sending nor receiving traffic, the VTEP will delete the MAC address entry of the VM. Afterwards, when the traffic sent to the VM arrives at the VTEP, the VTEP cannot find the MAC address of the VM in the local MAC address table, and will broadcast the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, Address Resolution Protocol) requests, resulting in a waste of ...
