A first hierarchy path associated with a first interface of a first provider is determined, with the first interface being of a first type. A second hierarchy path associated with a second interface of the first provider is determined, with the second interface being of a second type different from the first type. The first hierarchy path is determined to be a mismatch from the second hierarchy path. A third hierarchy path corresponding to another interface of the first type is obtained from a second provider. A dictionary is generated based on a determination that the third hierarchy path matches the first hierarchy path. A vector that corresponds to a third interface is generated based on the dictionary. As a result of the third interface being determined to be of the first type based on the vector, a device is caused to perform an operation against the third interface.
