Abstract
A mechanism is provided for generating a packet inspection policy for a policy enforcement point in a centralized management environment. Data of a network topology for the policy enforcement point corresponding to a network infrastructure is updated according to metadata of the policy enforcement point, the metadata including a capability of the policy enforcement point. The packet inspection policy for the policy enforcement point is generated according to the data of the network topology and the capability of the policy enforcement point. The packet inspection policy is then deployed to the policy enforcement point.
