PHYSICAL ADDRESS BYPASS AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS BASED ON SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKING

摘要

Disclosed is a physical address bypass authentication method based on software defined networking. The method is executed on a software defined networking switch and a software defined networking controller. The method comprises: a software defined networking switch reports physical address information and port information of the software defined networking switch to a software defined networking controller; configure a physical address bypass authentication technology on the software defined networking controller; the software defined networking switch reports a packet that is unmatched to a flow table; and the software defined networking controller delivers the flow table according to the result of the matched authentication. In the physical address bypass authentication method and apparatus based on software defined networking provided in the present invention, all physical address bypass authentication configuration task sequences are concentrated to the software defined networking controller, so that the configuration work is concentrated and is convenient to modify, and networking is simpler and more flexible.
