Abstract
In general, embodiments relate to a network device, including network device hardware including a processor; and memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, performs a method for creating segment mapping in a network. The method includes entering a fallback mode in response to detecting a fallback scenario, determining, based on the fallback mode, a segment identification (ID) for a client device of the network, wherein the segment ID identifies a segment of the network including a client device, obtaining an Internet Protocol (IP) address to segment ID mapping, wherein the client device is associated with the IP address, and processing at least one packet from the client device using the IP address to segment ID mapping.
