6 Network virtualization
To improve network resource usage for different network users, SDNM provides the network
virtualization function which is used to virtualize the physical OpenFlow network in a horizontal view. For
example, it can be used to create multiple OpenFlow instances on a single OpenFlow switch. Each
instance is operating as an independent virtual OpenFlow device. Tenants can use one or more virtual
OpenFlow devices to build their respective OpenFlow logical networks.
With network virtualization, the following functions can be implemented:
Manage virtual OpenFlow devices.
Manage the tenant's logical network.
Managing virtual OpenFlow devices
SDNM provides an OpenFlow device virtualization module for operators to add virtual OpenFlow
devices based on OpenFlow switches and centrally manage the virtual devices.
Viewing the virtual OpenFlow device list
Virtual OpenFlow devices in the list come from:
Virtual OpenFlow devices that are synchronized from the controllers in SDNM.
OpenFlow instances that are created by SDNM operators.
A virtual OpenFlow device takes the DPID as its device label if it is synchronized from a controller.
To view the virtual OpenFlow device list:
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select VAN SDN Manager > Network Virtualization > OF Device
Virtualization.
