The technology disclosed relates to a DHCP server-based steering logic for policy enforcement on IoT devices. In particular, the technology disclosed provides a steering logic running on a DHCP server on a network segment of a network. The steering logic is configured to receive DHCP requests broadcasted to the DHCP server by a plurality of special-purpose devices on the network segment, access DHCP responses generated by the DHCP server for the DHCP requests, receive, from a device classification logic, a positive determination that special-purpose devices in the plurality of special-purpose devices are special-purpose devices and not general-purpose devices, modify the accessed 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.
