Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing network devices using policy graph representations. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving configurations for a plurality of network devices; extracting one or more policies from the configurations; extracting a label hierarchy from the configurations, the label hierarchy describing an organization of nodes in a network comprising the network devices; generating a connectivity of a network comprising the network devices based on the one or more policies and the label hierarchy; generating a policy graph representation of the connectivity of the network; and displaying the policy graph representation of the connectivity to a user.
