Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating a forwarding entry and a machine-readable storage medium, which are applied to a distributed resilient network interconnect (DR) network comprising a remote device and a DR device. The remote device is connected with the DR device. The DR device includes first DR member device and at least one second DR member device, each of which is connected with a host via an aggregation port. In an example of the method, when receiving first synchronous message carrying address information of the host from the first DR member device and the first synchronous message carries an identifier of the aggregation port, the remote device determines that the remote device connects the DR device via at least two tunnels of the aggregation port according to the identifier, and generates a forwarding entry corresponding to the host according to information of each of the tunnels.
