Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a networking method for a data center network and a data center network, where the data center network includes multiple deployment units; each deployment unit includes at least two Spine switches and at least one Leaf Switch; each Leaf switch inside each deployment unit is connected to at least two Spine switches of all Spine switches inside the deployment unit; and between at least two deployment units, at least one Spine switch inside each deployment unit is connected to at least one Spine switch inside each of other deployment units. A connection relationship between Spine switches in deployment units is set up, so that in a condition of adding no network device, communication between different deployment units can be implemented, which decreases network complexity, and increases the network management and maintenance efficiency.

Claim (Index 21):
The networking method according to  claim 11 , further comprising\n adding a new deployment unit to the data center network, the new deployment unit comprising at least two Spine switches and at least one Leaf switch; setting up a connection between each Leaf switch inside the new deployment unit and each Spine switch inside the new deployment unit; and selecting at least one Spine switch from the new deployment unit, and setting up a connection between the selected at least one Spine switch and at least one Spine switch that is inside each of other deployment units and that is outside the new deployment unit.
