Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for configuring a network policy of a virtual network. The method includes: receiving, by a server, a network policy message sent by a virtual machine management center and used for creating a virtual network, where the network policy message for creating a virtual network includes a virtual network identification (VNID) of a virtual network to be created and network policy configuration information corresponding to the virtual network to be created; and sending, by the server, a network policy synchronization message to a network device, where the network policy synchronization message includes the VNID of the virtual network to be created and the network policy configuration information corresponding to the virtual network to be created. Consequently, processing overheads can be reduced.
