Abstract

Techniques are provided for sending address information of virtual machines to a physical switch. A migration of a virtual machine to a physical server is detected. The physical server obtains address information of the virtual machine, and upon obtaining the address information of the virtual machine, the physical server sends the address information to a first physical switch that is connected to the physical server.
