Provided are a virtual machine (VM) state management method and device. The method comprises: sending, by a VM state management function or function example executed on an uplink interface of an edge relay (ER) and supporting a preset protocol example, a VM state query packet to a VM; receiving, by the VM state management function or the function example, a VM state query response packet of the VM, and acquiring, by the VM state management function or the function example, state information of the VM; and sending via an extended field of the preset protocol, by the VM state management function or the function example, the state information of the VM to a network virtualization edge (NVE). The present invention addresses the problem of incomplete management of a VM state, and achieves a real-time management of the VM state under a network virtualization overlay based-on L3 network (NVO3) environment. |
