Abstract
Each virtual machine server includes: means for generating, when a virtual machine is connected to a virtual network via a virtual network management apparatus, local identification information unique per virtual switch and setting the local identification information as a VLAN ID of a port of a virtual switch, the port having been connected to the virtual machine; and means for notifying the virtual network management apparatus of a correspondence relationship between the virtual network to which the virtual machine has been connected and the local identification information. The virtual network management apparatus instructs, on the basis of the notification, the switch control apparatus to control the virtual network by using the local identification information unique per virtual switch as a match condition.
