Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate downloading and/or applying policies for a current configuration of network interfaces. Where a network interface of a device is deactivated or otherwise losses connection, the device can ensure policies for communicating without the network interface are enforced. Where such policies are not available, the policies can be downloaded to ensure the device stores policies for the network interface configuration.
