Abstract
Presented herein are techniques in which one or more network devices can use information provided by a special purpose network connected device to retrieve a usage profile (i.e., configuration file) associated with the special purpose network connected device. The retrieved usage profile, which includes/describes preselected (predetermined) usage descriptions associated with the special purpose network connected device, can then be used to configure one or more network devices. For example, the predetermined usage descriptions associated with the special purpose network connected device can be instantiated and enforced at a network device or the predetermined usage descriptions can be used for auditing the special purpose network connected device (e.g., monitoring of traffic within the network).
