  • Enforcing host routing settings on a network device
    Patent number: 8055800
    Abstract: A method and system for enforcing host routing settings in a network device comprises network devices having enforcement logic for extracting host routing settings from a DHCP packet issued by a DHCP server to a DHCP client connecting to a network. The network devices generate enforcement rules based on the host routing settings and apply those rules to ports through which the DHCP client connects to the network. The enforcement rules include access control lists having one or more match conditions generated based on the host routing settings.
