AUTOMATIC FABRIC MULTICAST GROUP SELECTION IN A DYNAMIC FABRIC AUTOMATION NETWORK ARCHITECTURE |
摘要 |
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes establishing a pool of multicast group addresses reserved for assignment to Layer 2 (“L2”) and Layer 3 (“L3”) segment IDs of a network comprising an Internet protocol (“IP”) fabric, and assigning a first multicast group address from the pool to an L3 segment ID of a Virtual Routing and Forwarding element (“VRF”) associated with a new partition established in the network. The method further includes pushing the first multicast group address assignment to a database to provide arguments for configuration profiles, and configuring a new tenant detected on a leaf node of the network using the configuration profiles, in which the configuring comprises specifying multicast group to segment ID assignments for the tenant as specified in the configuration profiles. |

1. A method comprising:
establishing a pool of multicast group addresses reserved for assignment to Layer 2 (“L2”) and Layer 3 (“L3”) segment IDs of a network comprising an Internet protocol (“IP”) fabric; assigning a first multicast group address from the pool to an L3 segment ID of a Virtual Routing and Forwarding element (“VRF”) associated with a new partition established in the network; pushing the first multicast group address assignment to a database to provide arguments for configuration profiles; and configuring a new tenant detected on a leaf node of the network using the configuration profiles, wherein the configuring comprises specifying multicast group to segment ID assignments for the tenant as specified in the configuration profiles. |
