(54) METHOD, NETWORK MANAGEMENT CENTER, AND A RELATED DEVICE FOR CONFIGURING A NETWORK POLICY FOR A VIRTUAL PORT


(57) A method, a network management center, and a related device. The method includes: obtaining a virtual network policy group, a physical network policy group, and a media access control (MAC) address of a virtual port; associating the virtual network policy group, the physical network policy group, and the MAC address of the virtual port to form a virtual port policy association table; and selecting a physical network policy group corresponding to the MAC address from the virtual port policy association table, and delivering the physical network policy group to a physical switch. When a virtual machine (VM) on the server is migrated, the method may be used to migrate the network policy for the virtual port on a real-time basis. Therefore, the real-time effect of services provided by the VM is improved in the virtualization process of the server.
