Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for communicating by using a remote network element port, and an apparatus, and the method is applied to a virtual network element. The virtual network element includes a master node and an egress AP, and the master node adds a first layer VLAN tag to a virtualization packet according to a virtual port corresponding to the virtualization packet to allow the egress AP to distinguish between the virtualization packet and a non-virtualization packet according to the first layer VLAN tag, and, based on the distinguishing, the virtualization packet is correctly processed.
