Abstract
An example method for touchless multi-domain VLAN based orchestration in a network environment is provided and includes receiving mobility domain information for a virtual machine associated with a processor executing the method in a network environment, the mobility domain information comprising a mobility domain identifier (ID) indicating a scope within which the virtual machine can be moved between servers, generating a virtual station interface (VSI) discovery protocol (VDP) message in a type-length-value (TLV) format with the mobility domain information, and transmitting the VDP message to a leaf switch directly attached to the server, wherein the leaf switch provisions a port according to the mobility domain information.
