Prefix delegation requests for device-level policy enforcement

A network device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• generate a request for an Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) prefix and a wide area network (WAN) IP address;
• include, in the request, a prefix delegation option identifying a prefix identifier and a prefix length of the IPV4 prefix;
• provide the request to a server device;
• receive, based on the request, the WAN IP address, the IPV4 prefix, and IPV4 prefix lease parameters determined based on the prefix delegation option;
• generate a plurality of IPv4 addresses based on the IPV4 prefix;
• configure an interface of the network device, communicating with endpoint devices, with the IPv4 prefix;
• assign a first IPv4 address of the plurality of IPV4 addresses, based on the IP+4 prefix, to the interface of the network device communicating with one or more endpoint devices;
• and
• assign ether one or more second IPv4 addresses of the plurality of IPV4 addresses to the one or more endpoint devices, wherein the network device acts as a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) local server for the one or more endpoint devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the network device to:
• generate a request for an Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) prefix and a wide area network (WAN) IP address;
• include, in the request, a prefix delegation option identifying a prefix identifier and a prefix length of the IPV4 prefix;
• provide the request to a server device;
• receive, based on the request, the WAN IP address, the IPV4 prefix, and IPV4 prefix lease parameters determined based on the prefix delegation option;
• provide confirmation of acceptance of the WAN IP address and the IPV4 prefix to the server device;
• receive, from the server device and based on the confirmation, an indication of assignment of the WAN IP address and the IPV4 prefix;
• generate a plurality of IPV4 addresses based on the IPV4 prefix;
• assign a first IPV4 address of the plurality of IPV4 addresses to an interface of the network device communicating with one or more endpoint devices;
• and
• assign one or more second IPv4 addresses of the plurality of IPV4 addresses to the one or more endpoint devices, wherein the network device acts as a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) local server for the one or more endpoint devices.
