摘要： Techniques for automatically claiming switches of a tenant computer network by a remote, cloud-based network controller. A first seed switch is manually claimed by a user by implementing the remote, cloud-based network controller. After claiming the seed switch a set of switches immediately connected with the seed switch are identified by Device Connector logic in the seed switch and immediately connected switches. Switches directly connected to those switches are then identified using Device Connector logic of the switches. This process is performed iteratively by identifying immediately connected switches until all of the switches are identified. All or a subset of the identified switches can then be claimed by the remote, cloud-based controller based on a response from the tenant network user.

摘要： Techniques for maintaining virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) segregation for network paths through multi-cloud fabrics that utilize shared services, e.g., application load balancers. The router of a first network of a multi-cloud fabric receives a first data packet from a source end-point group within the first network and forwards the first data packet to a service end-point group. The service end-point group may forward the first data packet to a destination end-point group of a second network of the multi-cloud fabric. The service end-point group may receive a second data packet from the destination end-point group and forward the second data packet to the router. Based on one of (i) an identity of the service end-point group or (ii) an address of the source end-point group, a VRF may be identified and the second data packet may be forwarded by the router to the source end-point group using the VRF.
