    Abstract: An example method for facilitating multiple mobility domains with VLAN translation in a multi-tenant network environment is provided and includes detecting attachment of a first virtual machine on a first port and a second virtual machine on a second port of a network element, the first port and the second port being configured with a first mobility domain and a second mobility domain, respectively, and the first and second virtual machines being configured on a same original VLAN, determining whether the original VLAN falls within a pre-configured VLAN range, translating the original VLAN to a first VLAN on the first port corresponding to the first mobility domain and to a second VLAN on the second port corresponding to the second mobility domain, and segregating traffic on the original VLAN into the first VLAN and the second VLAN according to the respective mobility domains for per-port VLAN significance.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for rapid TRILL convergence are disclosed herein. The methods can be implemented in a network including a plurality of RBridges or in a cloud network environment including a plurality of cloud switch domains. An example method for rapid TRILL convergence can include: Executing a spanning tree protocol (STP) for network topology in a network; and executing a Hello protocol for control and forwarding at the RBridge. The Hello protocol can be configured to elect a designated RBridge and assign an appointed forwarder. The method can also include assigning a transient appointed forwarder during a period of time between convergence of the STP and convergence of the Hello protocol. The transient appointed forwarder can be configured to forward frames in the network during the period of time between convergence of the STP and convergence of the Hello protocol.

    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes determining a route target (“RT”) membership for a network element; determining at least one attribute for the RT membership; and advertising the RT membership with the at least one attribute to other network elements. The at least one attribute may include an RT membership type attribute for indicating whether the RT membership is due to a local virtual network connection, transit support, or both. Additionally or alternatively, the at least one attribute may include a distribution tree binding attribute for indicating a distribution tree for the RT membership.

    Abstract: A leaf switch of a switch fabric includes multiple ports to connect with respective ones of multiple servers. Virtual local area networks (VLANs) are configured on the leaf switch. Dynamic creation of virtual ports is enabled on the leaf switch for at least one of the VLANs on an as needed basis. The leaf switch receives from a particular server connected to a corresponding one of the ports a notification message that a virtual machine is hosted on the particular server. Responsive to the notification message, the leaf switch dynamically creates a virtual port that associates the corresponding one of the ports with the at least one of the VLANs.

    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes determining whether a first network element with which a second network element is attempting to establish an adjacency is a client type element. If the first network element is determined to be a client type element, the method further includes determining whether the first and second network elements are in the same network area. If the first network element is a client type element and the first and second network elements are determined to be in the same network area, the adjacency is established. Subsequent to the establishing, a determination is made whether the first network element includes an inter-area forwarder (IAF).
