Multi-Node Virtual Switching System

摘要

A multi-node virtual switching system (MVSS) may be provided. A virtual supervisor module (VSM) may be configured onto a network device to serve as a single control point for a network. The VSM may virtualize an interconnection of switches within the network as a virtual fabric and allocate a portion of the network switches to a network domain. The allocated portion of network switches may be represented by the VSM as a single virtualized logical switch. The VSM may then manage the network domain from the single control point.
