Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus that determines a plurality of matching policies for a segment of a dynamic virtualized network is described. A device retrieves a virtual network identifier of the segment, where the virtual network identifier includes a plurality of bits and a plurality of subnets and each of the plurality of subnets is a different subset of the plurality of bits. In addition, the dynamic virtualized network is a virtualized layer 2 network that is overlaid on a layer 3 physical network, where the layer 3 physical network includes a plurality of network access devices, and the segment includes a plurality of endpoints. The device further determines the plurality of matching policies for the segment from the plurality of subnets of the virtual network identifier, where each of the plurality of subnets corresponds to one of the plurality of matching policies. The device additionally applies the plurality of matching policies to each network access device that corresponds to one of the plurality of matching endpoints.
