Abstract
A device receives network information associated with a network and server information associated with one or more server devices, wherein the network is associated with a network device and the one or more server devices. The device generates, based on the network information and the server information, an encapsulation profile for a tunnel encapsulation path and a route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path. The device provides, to the network device, the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path and the route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path, and provides, to the one or more server devices, the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path. The tunnel encapsulation path is provided between the network device and the one or more server devices, via the network, based on the encapsulation profile for the tunnel encapsulation path and the route profile for the tunnel encapsulation path.
