SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING FAILOVER TIME THROUGH REDUNDANCY USING VIRTUAL ACCESS POINTS

摘要

According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a non-transitory computer readable medium is described for an network device, where the medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of a number of operations. These operations include configuring a first network device to provide network access to a client device using a first Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID) and determining that the first network device is not responsive. Based on determining that the first network device is not responsive, the one or more hardware processors further configure a second network device to provide the network access to the client device using the same first BSSID that was previously used by the first network device without the client device disassociating with the first BSSID.

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium stored on one or more network devices comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
configuring a first network device to provide network access to a client device using a first Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID); determining that the first network device is not responsive; based on determining that the first network device is not responsive, configuring a second network device to provide the network access to the client device using the same first BSSID that was previously used by the first network device without the client device disassociating with the first BSSID.
