Abstract
A process for implementing temporary rules for network devices is described. In one embodiment, the process includes a controller receiving a manufacturer usage description (MUD) identifier from a first device. The controller retrieves a MUD file associated with the MUD identifier. The controller registers a device identifier associated with the first device with a delegated controller determined based on the MUD file. The delegated controller is configured to generate a dynamic policy for the first device. The controller receives a dynamic policy from the delegated controller for the first device. The dynamic policy may be configured to permit a communication session between the first device and a second device. The controller forwards the dynamic policy to an access control device in communication with the first device to enable the access control device to permit the communication session between the first device and the second device.
