Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a networking method for a data center network and a data center network, where the data center network includes multiple deployment units; each deployment unit includes at least two Spine switches and at least one Leaf Switch; each Leaf switch inside each deployment unit is connected to at least two Spine switches of all Spine switches inside the deployment unit; and between at least two deployment units, at least one Spine switch inside each deployment unit is connected to at least one Spine switch inside each of other deployment units. A connection relationship between Spine switches in deployment units is set up, so that in a condition of adding no network device, communication between different deployment units can be implemented, which decreases network complexity, and increases the network management and maintenance efficiency.
