The present invention provides a base station deployment configuration method. The method includes: receiving, by a base station after being powered on for a first time, a virtual local area network identity and composite information, receiving, by the base station, a plurality of ping packets, and learning, by the base station, the received virtual local area network identity in the service packet and virtual local area network identities in all the received ping packets; traversing, by the base station, the learned virtual local area network identities, and sending a DHCP request to a DHCP server; receiving, by the base station, a DHCP response message returned by the DHCP server; and establishing, by the base station, an OM IP address connection to a management channel of the wireless network manager according to the OM IP address, and receiving a complete configuration delivered through the management channel.

A method includes a second provider edge (PE) device sending, to a first PE device, a media access control (MAC) route learned from a customer edge (CE) device, wherein the first PE device generates a MAC forwarding entry based on the MAC route, wherein the first PE device may forward, based on the MAC forwarding entry using the CE device, a packet whose destination MAC address is the CE device or a MAC address of a terminal device accessing the CE device, and wherein an outbound interface identifier included in the MAC forwarding entry is an identifier of an interface connected to the CE device.

Transferring data in a network is disclosed. Transferring includes receiving a Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) frame, identifying a plurality of location specific identifiers in the PBT frame, mapping the PBT frame to a service based at least in part on the plurality of location specific identifiers, formatting the PBT frame according to the service to obtain a service frame, and transferring the service frame to a network associated with the service.

According to an example, in a method for redirecting virtual machine traffic a virtual switch may be implemented in a physical server. In addition, a packet sent from a first virtual machine to a second virtual machine may be detected, in which the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine are in the same virtual local area network (VLAN), and in which the packet has a first VLAN label that identifies the VLAN. Moreover, the first VLAN label may be replaced with a second VLAN label in the packet, in which the second VLAN label differs from the first VLAN label, and the packet may be sent to an uplink switch, in which the uplink switch may send the packet to a network security module.

To provide a switch device and a control method of the switch device which reduce a burden on a manager in an FCoE communication. A switch device relays the FCoE communication between a storage and a server disposed in an internal network and a FCF disposed in an external network. A reception port receives, from the FCoE, information of an external VLAN in the external network in response to a transmission request for information of a virtual network used in the FCoE communication. A protocol processing unit selects an internal VLAN, corresponding to the external VLAN, in the internal network. A transmission port notifies an end node of information of the internal VLAN as information of the VLAN used in the FCoE communication. A packet processing unit relays the FCoE communication between the end node and the FCF based on the internal VLAN and the external VLAN.

A network configuration method, a terminal device, a system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The network configuration method may include: receiving first configuration information from a first device; setting VLAN information of a second device according to the first configuration information, and generating second configuration information according to the VLAN information; and establishing a communication connection with the first device by means of an untagged port.

A client device includes a memory and a processor cooperating therewith to boot the client device and connect to a provisioning server via a network. The processor receives a streaming virtual disk image from the provisioning server based on a virtual disk configuration, receives a virtual disk change notification from the provisioning server, and determines changes to the virtual disk configuration based on the virtual disk change notification. The memory and the processor cooperate with the provisioning server to change the streaming virtual disk image based on the determined changes to the virtual disk configuration and without rebooting the client device.

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes configuring on a network element a first tunnel from the network element to a first network, wherein the configuring comprises mapping a nexthop address of the local network element to a transport address of the tunnel on the network to create a first nexthop-to-transport mapping for the network element; and advertising the first nexthop-to-transport mapping along with routing information for the network element to remote network elements.

A computing environment, such as a cloud computing environment, may include nodes performing NAT for a plurality of workloads. An active node performs NAT for the workloads, including maintaining a NAT table. The active node may create sub-interfaces for the workloads and function as a DHCP server. The NAT table and sub-interfaces may be recreated on a standby node. Upon detecting failure, a routing table is updated to direct workloads to connect to the standby node and traffic may continue to be processed by the standby node without disrupting network or application sessions.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a switch in a network of interconnected switches. The switch includes a network extension module, which maintains a mapping between a first virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier and a first global VLAN identifier of a network extension group. The network extension group is represented by a range of global VLAN identifiers for a tenant. A global VLAN identifier is persistent in a respective switch of the network and represents a virtual forwarding domain in the network. During operation, the network extension module includes the global VLAN identifier in a packet belonging to the first VLAN.
