Abstract: In some examples, a first network device receives, from a second network device, role update information for a compute entity connected to the second network device, the role update information including role information specifying a role of the compute entity and a network address of the compute entity. The first network device updates role mapping information stored at the first network device based on the received role update information, where the role mapping information correlates network addresses to roles. The first network device receives, from a first compute entity, a data packet containing a destination network address of a second compute entity to which the data packet is targeted. The first network device performs a lookup of the role mapping information using the destination network address to determine a role of the second compute entity, and enforces a policy with respect to the data packet at the first network device based on a role of the first compute entity and the role of the second compute entity.
