VIRTUAL LAN OVERRIDE IN A MULTIPLE BSSID MODE OF OPERATION

摘要

Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to the integration of VLANs and wireless access points operating in a Multiple BSSID mode of operation. According to one implementation of the present invention, a wireless access point dynamically maps an SSID provided by a mobile station to a BSSID based on a VLAN assignment corresponding to the mobile station. In one implementation, the wireless access point learns the correct VLAN/BSSID for a given mobile station, while proxying an authentication session between the mobile station and an authentication server.
