Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to a DHCP relay-based steering logic for policy enforcement on IoT devices. In particular, the technology disclosed provides a steering logic that is interposed between a plurality of special-purpose devices on a network segment of a network and a DHCP server on the network segment. The steering logic is configured to intercept DHCP requests broadcasted to the DHCP server by special-purpose devices in the plurality of special-purpose devices, forward the intercepted DHCP requests to the DHCP sever, receive, from the DHCP server, DHCP responses to the intercepted DHCP requests, receive, from a device classification logic, a positive determination that the special-purpose devices are special-purpose devices and not general-purpose devices, modify the received DHCP responses by replacing the default gateway with an inline secure forwarder on the network segment, and send the modified DHCP responses to the special-purpose devices.
