Abstract: A method and an apparatus for cross-service-zone communication, and a data center network. When a first virtual machine in a server sends a packet to a second virtual machine, the server determines, through searching, whether a routing table of a tenant to which the first virtual machine belongs exists on the server; when the routing table of the tenant to which the first virtual machine belongs does not exist on the server, send the packet to a gateway; receive the routing table of the tenant to which the first virtual machine belongs sent by the gateway through a service zone manager; and forward a subsequent packet of the first virtual machine according to the routing table; where the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine are located in different service zones.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system and network node for auto-configuration, and a network node. A network node in a BVLAN receives IS-IS protocol packets sent by other network nodes in the BVLAN; determines its own priority in the BVLAN; transmits uniform configuration information in the BVLAN according to its own priority, where the uniform configuration information is information that needs to be configured on each network node in the BVLAN. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, auto-configuration may be performed on the network node, thereby improving a speed and accuracy of configuration.
