Abstract
A method includes allocating an identifier to each of a plurality of policies each comprising a network-isolation identifier associated with a VXWAN directive and transmitting each of the plurality of policies to one or more devices in a network.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- allocating an identifier to each of a plurality of policies each comprising a network-isolation identifier associated with a VXWAN directive;
- and
- transmitting each of the plurality of policies to one or more devices in a network.
A centrally controllable multi-tenant controller for controlling a plurality of assets across a plurality of distributed computing environments wherein the controller is configured to:
- allocate an identifier to each of a plurality of policies each comprising a network-isolation identifier associated with a VXWAN directive;
- and
- transmit each of the plurality of policies to one or more devices in a network.
A method comprising:
- receiving each of a plurality of policies at a networked device on a network wherein each policy comprises a network-isolation identifier associated with a VXWAN directive;
- and
- inserting the network-isolation identifier into one or more packets transmitted by the networked device.
A centrally controllable multi-tenant controller for controlling a plurality of assets across a plurality of distributed computing environments wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive from a first network tenant on a network an indication of a partner network tenant with which to establish a IPSEC VPN TUNNEL, at least one of a site associated with the partner network tenant to which a IPSEC VPN TUNNEL is to be established, source prefixes at a tenant site from to which application traffic is allowed to travel over the IPSEC VPN TUNNEL and destination prefixes for application traffic that can travel over the IPSEC VPN TUNNEL;
- receive an indication from the partner network tenant of agreement to establish the IPSEC VPN TUNNEL;
- and
- instruct one or more devices of the first network and the partner network to establish an IPSEC data tunnel between themselves.
