Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for extending scalable policy management to supporting network devices. A network device comprising a memory and a processor may perform various aspects of the techniques. The memory may be configured to store a policy. The processor may be configured to obtain the policy to be enforced by a supporting network device coupled to a server, and identify a port of the supporting network device to which the server is coupled via the switch fabric. The policy controller may also identify a workload executed by the server to which the policy is associated, and convert the policy into configuration data supported by the network device. The policy controller may further configure, based on the configuration data, the network device to enforce the policy with respect to network traffic received via the identified port.
