METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING A NETWORK POLICY USING A VXLAN NETWORK IDENTIFIER

摘要

A method and system for applying a network policy in a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) environment. The method includes receiving, at a network device, a VXLAN frame that includes a source VXLAN network identifier (VNI). The network device includes a first network policy. The method also includes examining the VXLAN frame to determine the source VNI; obtaining, based on the source VNI, the first network policy; and processing the VXLAN frame based on the application of the first network policy.

1. A method for applying a network policy in a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) environment, comprising:
receiving, at a network device, a VXLAN frame, wherein the VXLAN frame comprises a source VXLAN network identifier (VNI) and wherein the network device comprises a first network policy; examining the VXLAN frame to determine the source VNI; obtaining, based on the source VNI, the first network policy; and processing the VXLAN frame based on the application of the first network policy.
