Abstract
Examples described herein include systems and methods for automatically configuring a VM on a server using information from a switch located remotely from the server. The switch can provide the configuration information in a Link Layer Discovery Protocol ('LLDP') type-length-value ('TLV') data structure. The configuration information can include various information related to configuring a VM, such as a VM identifier, an indication of a physical port of the server, a VM interface that corresponds to the identified physical port, and a virtual local area network ('VLAN') identifier indicating that a particular VLAN corresponds to the VM, VM interface, or the physical port. The hypervisor can use this configuration information to automatically configure a newly instantiated VM, or reconfigure a VM for a new task, without manual user input.
