Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing a request to route network traffic between a virtual network device in a virtual network and a bare-metal electronic device using a software defined networking (SDN) appliance, where the virtual network device includes a virtual machine and an existing direct network connection with a Virtual extensible Local-Area Network (VXLAN) switch coupled to a bare-metal electronic device. An interim shadow mapping policy is installed on the virtual network device configuring the virtual network device to receive outgoing network traffic from a SDN appliance. Outgoing network traffic from the VXLAN switch is redirected to the SDN appliance. A new mapping policy update is installed on the virtual network device for routing incoming network traffic from the virtual network device to the SDN appliance.
