Method and device for interconnecting bare metal server and virtualized network

Abstract

The invention provides a method for interconnecting a bare metal server and a virtualized network, which is applied to a cloud computing network, and includes the following steps: the cloud management and control platform registers the MAC addresses of the network communication interfaces of all bare metal instances to be allocated, and assigns each MAC address A virtual ID that can communicate with the virtualized network, and establish a mapping relationship between the MAC address and the virtual ID; deploy a bare metal gateway, and realize the network layer 2 between the virtualized network and the bare metal network through two interface groups interconnection; when the bare metal instance is created, the cloud management and control platform sends the mapping relationship to the bare metal gateway, and the bare metal gateway initializes the bare metal instance, and establishes a network forwarding entry based on the mapping relationship; based on the existing two Layer network communication protocol, the bare metal gateway listens to the interface group message and converts between the virtual ID and the destination MAC address based on the network forwarding entry, realizing the interconnection between the bare metal server and the virtualized network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and device for interconnecting a bare metal server and a virtualized network. Background technique [0002] BMS (bare metal server) is a real physical server. After the bare metal server is added to the resource pool of the cloud platform, these physical servers can be managed by the cloud platform like a virtual machine, and users can apply and deploy like a virtual machine and use. [0003] In the cloud platform resource pool, bare metal servers have independent CPU, memory and other computing resources, which have obvious performance advantages compared with ordinary virtual machines, and are especially suitable for running databases and other software that require high response to application computing. [0004] Bare metal servers are physically isolated for security, can be re-virtualized, support heterogeneity, support containers, and have high stabi...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] SDN and the virtualized network are interconnected using a custom protocol. In order to ensure the interconnection of the network, the original virtualized network needs to be upgraded and transformed, and the network compatibility is poor.

In addition, SDN will increase the number of forwarding service packets, which will lead to a decrease in the service quality of the bare metal network.
