Abstract
This application provides a method for establishing a non-Ethernet service and a network device. The method includes: A first network device receives a border gateway protocol BGP message sent by a second network device to establish a non-Ethernet service. In other words, in the method, the non-Ethernet service is established by using a protocol of an Ethernet service. In this way, a network device in a system can support establishment of the non-Ethernet service when only the related protocol supporting the Ethernet service is configured. Therefore, the foregoing technical solutions can reduce service establishment costs, and implement flexible establishment of the non-Ethernet service.
Claims20
A network device comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- a processor coupled to the memory, and
- wherein the instructions are executed by the processor, and cause the network device to perform operations including:
- receiving a border gateway protocol (BGP) message sent by a second network device, wherein the BGP message carries Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) routing information comprising first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates a service type of a target non-Ethernet service;
- establishing the target non-Ethernet service with the second network device based on the service type of the target non-Ethernet service.
A second network device comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- a processor coupled to the memory, and
- wherein the instructions are executed by the processor, and cause the network device to perform operations including:
- determining a border gateway protocol (BGP) message, wherein the BGP message carries Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) routing information comprising first indication information, wherein the first indication information indicates a service type of a target non-Ethernet service;
- and
- sending the BGP message to a first network device.
A communication system comprising:
- a first network device and a second network device;
- wherein
- the second network device is configured to send a border gateway protocol (BGP) message to the first network device, wherein the BGP message carries Ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) routing information, the EVPN routing information comprises first indication information, the first indication information indicates a service type of a target non-Ethernet service;
- the first network device is configured to receive the BGP message;
- the first network device is further configured to establish the target non-Ethernet service with the second network device based on the service type of the target non-Ethernet service.
