Group based policy for non-virtual extensible local area network deployments

Abstract

A network device may receive, from a server device, a first tag assigned to a first host device, and may generate a first filter based on the first tag. The network device may receive a second filter generated based on a second tag assigned to a second host device, and may generate a policy based on the first filter and the second filter. The network device may propagate the first filter and the second filter to one or more other network devices, and may receive a packet. The network device may derive a source tag and a destination tag associated with the packet, and may determine an action for the packet based on the policy, the source tag, and the destination tag. The network device may perform the action.
