Abstract:
In one example, a virtual local area network (VLAN) tagged packet may be received from a first virtual machine (VM) running on a first host via a port group that spans across hosts by a first virtual bridge of a first VLAN-aware VM. The first VLAN-aware VM may run on the first host. The VLAN tagged packet from the first VM may be translated to a virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) encapsulated packet by the first virtual bridge based on a network property of a VM port of the first VM. The VXLAN encapsulated packet may be transmitted to a second VM running on a second host by the first virtual bridge via a VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP) provided by the first VLAN-aware VM.

Claim (Index 1):
A management system comprising:\n a network service unit including a VXLAN networking module to:\n deploy a virtual local area network (VLAN)-aware virtual machine (VM) on each of a plurality of hosts, wherein each host executes VMs; \n execute a virtual bridge on each VLAN-aware VM; \n trunk VM ports associated with the VMs corresponding to each host into a logical port having a plurality of VLANs via respective VLAN-aware VMs; \n create a trunk port for each VLAN-aware VM in a database; \n create a sub-port for each VM port corresponding to the trunk port in the database; and \n communicate a unique identifier associated with the trunk port to respective virtual bridges; and \n a network controller to control each virtual bridge to translate and transmit virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) traffic to/from the VMs using the trunk ports and the sub-ports.
