Abstract
In general, techniques are described for determining reorder commands for remote reordering of policy rules. A device management system comprising a memory, a processor, and an interface may be configured to perform the techniques. A memory may store a currently configured policy for a managed network device and an updated policy for the managed device. The processor may determine a longest increasing subsequence (LIS) between a source list comprising the plurality of policy rules in a first ordering and a destination list of the plurality of policy rules in a second ordering. The processor may generate, based on the LIS, one or more policy configuration commands for the managed network device that direct the managed network device to conform the currently configured policy to the updated policy. The interface may output the one or more policy configuration commands to the managed network device.
