Zusammenfassung:Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage virtual local area network (VLANs) over multiple data centers. In one example, a method of managing a gateway at a first data center includes receiving, at a local manager, configuration information for a VLAN segment and a global VLAN segment identifier from a global manager of the data centers. The method further includes generating a global policy engine (GPE) data structure that associates the global VLAN segment identifier with a virtual network identifier (VNI) for the first data center and one or more policy rules, wherein the policy rules are derived from IP address prefix information provided from a second gateway, such as an edge gateway.
