In a VXLAN configuration method, a first network device obtains configuration information, generates first GRASP information based on the configuration information, and sends the first GRASP information to a second network device, where the configuration information includes VTEP device information, a plurality of pieces of VTEP device information are respectively used to indicate a plurality of VTEPs included in a VXLAN, the first GRASP information includes objective information, and the objective information is used to carry the configuration information. The second network device receives the first GRASP information and establishes a VXLAN tunnel based on the first GRASP information. In this way, automatic VXLAN configuration is implemented.

VXLAN configuration method, device, and system

A method including sending, by a first network device, to a second network device, a first objective locally stored in the first network device to a second network device, wherein an autonomic networking integrated model and approach (ANIMA) protocol is run on both the first network device and the second network device, determining, by the first network device, whether the first objective locally stored in the first network device is changed, and sending, by the first network device, a first objective change packet to the second network device in response to the first network device determining that the first objective locally stored in the first network device is changed, the first objective change packet instructing the second network device to change the first objective locally stored in the second network device.
