发明名称 AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURING DATA CENTER NETWORKS WITH NEIGHBOR DISCOVERY PROTOCOL SUPPORT
摘要 Techniques are disclosed herein for configuring a virtual network. One embodiment provides a computer-implemented method that includes receiving a request to add network interface cards (NICs) of a new virtual machine (VM) host to the virtual network, and determining, using a protocol by which network devices advertise information, ports of at least one physical switch to which the NICs are connected. The method further includes determining, based on a predefined network configuration document, virtual local area networks (VLANs) which are enabled on the ports of the at least one physical switch to which the NICs are connected. In addition, the method includes assigning the NICs to ports of at least one virtual switch in the virtual network based on the VLANs as determined.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method of configuring a virtual network, comprising: receiving a request to add network interface cards (NICs) of a new host to the virtual network; determining, using a protocol by which network devices advertise information, ports of at least one physical switch to which the NICs are connected; determining, based on a predefined network configuration document, virtual local area networks (VLANs) which are enabled on the ports of the at least one physical switch to which the NICs are connected; and assigning the NICs to an uplink of at least one virtual switch in the virtual network based on the VLANs as determined.
