NETWORK RE-CONVERGENCE POINT

摘要

In an example, a re-convergence point is determined for a convergence point in a network. A host is currently connected to the convergence point for example to access the network. Authentication information and a policy for the host is sent to the re-convergence point prior to the host connecting to the re-convergence point to access the network.

1. A network infrastructure device controller connected to convergence points and re-convergence points in a network, the network infrastructure device controller comprising:
a data storage to store information for a convergence point and a re-convergence point in the network; a processor to
identify a current convergence point connecting a host to the network;store, in the data storage, authentication information to authenticate the host to connect the host to the network and a policy to control network traffic for the host;determine a re-convergence point for the convergence point, wherein the re-convergence point is able to connect the host to the network using the authentication information and control network traffic for the host according to policy; anddistribute the authentication information and the policy to the re-convergence point, wherein the determining of the re-convergence point and the distributing of the authentication information and the policy are performed prior to the host connecting to the re-convergence point to access the network.
