摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for distributed zone-based security. In one embodiment, the method comprises: determining an ingress security zone associated with an ingress of a first network device based on a first key and a media access control (MAC) address of a source of a packet; determining an egress security zone of a second network device based on a MAC address of a destination for the packet and a second key; performing a policy lookup based on the ingress security zone and the egress security zone to identify a policy to apply to the packet; and applying the policy to the packet.
摘要:
A network system includes a first network access device having an input/output (IO) module of a firewall to capture a packet of a network session originated from a first node associated with the first network access device, a first security device having a firewall processing module to determine based on the captured packet whether the first node is a destination node that is receiving VM migration from a second node that is associated with a second network access device. The first security device is to update a first flow table within the first network access device. The network system further includes a second security device to receive a message from the first security device concerning the VM migration to update a second flow table of the second network access device, such that further network traffic of the network session is routed to the first node without interrupting the network session.
