Abstract
A device includes a memory that is configured to store instructions. The device includes a processor configured to execute the instructions to: validate a message including virtual machine (VM) information using a value of a virtual station interface (VSI) type identification (ID) to perform a lookup of a fetched VSI database. The VM information for the VM includes VSI type ID and virtual local area network (VLAN) ID. The processor further generates a first table for multiple different VM types with at least a portion of information from the VSI database, retrieves an address of the VM from the first table for the multiple different VM types based on using VSI type ID and network ID, retrieves rules associated with the retrieved address of the VM and the VSI type ID from a second table including VM information, and applies the associated rules for the VM.
