The invention relates to the technical field of
cloud computing, in particular to a VLAN (Virtual
Local Area Network) isolation method. The VLAN isolation method comprises the steps of firstly, installing and starting
virtual switch modules on all host computers of a cloud platform, establishing a tunnel network bridge and an
intranet network bridge, and connecting the tunnel network bridge with the
intranet network bridge through an interface; then, establishing tunnel connection between every two host computers, and assigning a basic Flow rule to control the data flow direction; then, selecting network nodes to create
virtual network space and to provide
network service, and selecting compute nodes to create virtual computers and to access each
virtual network; further, respectively defining a Flow rule on the network nodes and the compute nodes, carrying out conversion between tunnel ID (Identification) and VLAN tags, and realizing VLAN normal communication; finally, flexibly extending VLAN on the network nodes and newly adding a host computer to the cloud platform according to needs. According to the VLAN isolation method disclosed by the invention, the problems that VLAN isolation in the cloud platform is not strong in universality, the
network connection is uncontrollable, and the like are solved; the VLAN isolation method can be used for the VLAN isolation.
