SCALABLE POLICY MANAGEMENT IN AN EDGE VIRTUAL BRIDGING (EVB) ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to scalable policy management in an edge virtual bridging (EVB) environment. One embodiment includes fetching information from a virtual station interface (VSI) database. A first table is generated with at least a portion of the information from the VSI database. A message is received including virtual machine (VM) information for a created VM. A second table is generated including at least a portion of the VM information. A VM identification (ID) is retrieved based on VM type from the first table. Rules associated with the retrieved VM ID are retrieved from the second table. The associated rules for the VM are applied.
