A device intermediary to a plurality of clients and a plurality of servers can receive a request to establish a communicative connection between an SDN controller and the device. The request can be based on a device package including a device model, a device script configured to integrate the device with the SDN controller and including one or more function call definitions, a functional profile including a default value for at least one parameter of the device, and a plurality of device-level configuration parameters specifying values of parameters utilized by the device. The device can receive a request to configure one or more functions of the device. The request can configure the functions generated by the SDN controller based on the device package.
