Abstract
In one embodiment, a network controller for a computer network receives details of a provisioned device and policy requirements for the provisioned device. The network controller may then determine, based on the details and policy requirements for the provisioned device, a plurality of network devices that the provisioned device is configured to communicate through, and may then translate the details and policy requirements for the provisioned device into a plurality of network-device-specific policies, each respective network-device-specific policy corresponding to one of the plurality of network devices that the provisioned device is configured to communicate through. As such, the network controller may then transmit a respective network-device-specific policy of the plurality of network-device-specific policies to the plurality of network devices that the provisioned device is configured to communicate through.
