The invention discloses an establishment method and system for a virtual extensible local area network tunnel and an authentication server and relates to the technical field of communication. According to the method, the system and the related device, in a dial-up Internet access process of a user side device, VxLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) tunnel configuration information such as address information of a network side tunnel device and a virtual extensible local area network identity is sent to the user side device, so the user side device can establish the VxLAN tunnel according to the configuration information. The realization method is simple and the efficiency is high. The method provided by the invention is applicable to automatic configuration of the VxLAN tunnel under the conditionthat the user side device is a home or enterprise gateway. Devices in a home network or an enterprise network can share the VxLAN tunnel. Moreover, the gateway has destination address identification capability, so guide configuration of traffic can be realized through utilization of a control instruction. The tunnel can be established without a VxLAN network card and the user side device is changed a little, so the establishment complexity of the VxLAN tunnel is further reduced, and the efficiency is improved.

The invention provides a fault analysis method and device applied to a VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN). By setting a VXLAN mirroring dedicated tunnel, data messages which are received by VXLAN access equipment and need mirroring can be conveniently and uniformly mirrored to VXLAN core equipment, and the data messages are finally forwarded to traffic monitoring equipment for fault analysis by the VXLAN core equipment, so that the fault in the VXLAN can be simply and effectively checked.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a communication method and device between terminals. The method comprises the steps of receiving a VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) encapsulated first broadcast message from a VXLAN; decapsulating the VXLAN encapsulated first broadcast message into the first broadcast message; broadcasting the first broadcast message to a local terminal; encapsulating the first broadcast message into a VPLS encapsulated first broadcast message according to a VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Services) network associated with a subordinate virtual forwarding instance of the VXLAN; and broadcasting the VPLS encapsulated first broadcast message in the VPLS network. Through application of the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the method and the device, the occupied link resources are reduced.

The invention provides a fault processing method and apparatus. The fault processing method includes the steps: when detecting that an AC (Attachment Circuit) link between a VTEP (VXLAN Tunnel End Point) and CE (Customer Edge) equipment is unavailable, determining an AC interface corresponding to the AC link and a VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN) corresponding to the AC interface, and determining a corresponding MAC address according to the AC interface and the VXLAN; and sending a link fault message carrying the ID of the VXLAN and the MAC address to gateway equipment so as to enable the gateway equipment to determine the corresponding VXLAN tunnel according to the ID of the VXLAN and the MAC address, and stopping using the link between the gateway equipment corresponding to the VXLAN tunnel and the VTEP.

This disclosure provides a VXLAN message processing device, which is arranged at the network node that terminates the VXLAN message, including: a mapping table creation component, which obtains all VXLAN tunnel IPs and network identifiers VNI in the specified network, and provides each group of VXLAN tunnel IPs and network Identify the VNI and the corresponding VXLAN encapsulation header information to create a mapping entry, and store all the mapping entries as a mapping table in the mapping table storage unit; the parsing unit parses the received message and obtains the header information of the message; the mapping table lookup component , querying the mapping table based on the obtained header information, and obtaining a mapping entry corresponding to the header information; and an encapsulation and decapsulation unit, based on the queried mapping entry, encapsulating or decapsulating the message.

The invention provides a fault processing method and apparatus. The fault processing method and apparatus are characterized in that CE (Customer Edge) equipment in an EVPN (Ethernet Virtual Private Network) is connected with more than 2 VTEPs (VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN) Tunnel End Point) in a distributed aggregation system; the more than 2 VTEPs respectively establish a neighborhood with gateway equipment; and the VTEPs are connected through an IPL (Intra Portal Link). The fault processing method is applied to any one VTEP of the more than two VTEPs, and includes the steps: receiving a data message sent from the gateway equipment; and after determining that the received data message is required to sent to the CE equipment through the IPL, sending a redirection message to the gateway equipment so as to enable the gateway equipment to send the data message which is required to sent to the CE equipment to the other VTEPs except the current VTEP.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a switch that is a member of a fabric switch. The switch includes a keepalive response module that identifies a keepalive response packet that does not correspond to any keepalive packet previously transmitted by the switch. The switch also includes a switch identifier extraction module that extracts a switch identifier from a payload of the keepalive response packet, where the switch identifier corresponds to another member switch in the fabric switch. The switch further includes a forwarding module that constructs a packet that includes the payload and is destined to the other member switch.
