1. A method for managing a wireless network, comprising:
via a controller in communication with a network and an access point (AP),
receiving, from the AP, an indication that a wireless access device is requesting to associate to the AP;upon receiving the indication, associating the wireless access device to the AP;assigning the wireless access device to an isolation group;routing local communication through the AP, among any wireless access devices which are assigned to the same isolation group; androuting communication through the network, among any wireless access devices which are not assigned to the same isolation group.
