    摘要: In an example, a VTEP device may store first routing information acquired by the VTEP device, wherein the first routing information may be routing information of a host device connected with the VTEP device. The VTEP stores second routing information sent from other VTEP devices in a VXLAN, wherein the second routing information may be routing information of a host device connected with the other VTEP devices. The VTEP receives an address resolution request from a source host device, wherein the address resolution request comprises an IP address of a target host device, and a VXLAN identifier of a VXLAN to which the target host device belongs. and in response to a determination that routing information of the target host device may be stored locally, the VTEP sends an address resolution response comprising a MAC address of the target host device to the source host device.

    摘要: A source Medium Access Control (MAC) address is learned upon receiving a data message from a local network, and a learned local MAC address entry is added to a MAC address forwarding table. A source MAC address is not learned upon receiving a data message from a tunnel. When a local MAC address entry in the MAC address forwarding table changes, a synchronization message is sent via each tunnel associated with a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) in the changed local MAC address entry, and is saved into a database corresponding to the tunnel. Each tunnel corresponds to one database.
