Abstract
Example implementations relate to multi-connection access points. For example, an access point can include instructions to: establish a first connection to a first controller, wherein the access point receives configuration data from the first controller to generate a first virtual access point with the first controller; and establish a second connection to a second controller, wherein the access point receives configuration data from the second controller to generate a second virtual access point with the second controller.
Claims20
A multi-connection access point comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing resource, cause the processing resource to:
- establish a first connection to a first controller corresponding to a first zone of a network, wherein the access point receives configuration data from the first controller to generate a first virtual access point with the first controller;
- establish a second connection to a second controller corresponding to a second zone of the network, wherein the access point receives configuration data from the second controller to generate a second virtual access point with the second controller,
- wherein the first zone and the second zone are separated by a air gap which allows the first controller to manage one or more settings of the first virtual access point without affecting the second controller from separately managing one or more settings of the second virtual access point.
A non-transitory memory resource including instructions executable by a processing resource of a multi-connection access point to:
- establish a first connection with a first controller corresponding to a first zone of a network;
- receive configuration data to establish a first virtual access point corresponding to the first controller;
- establish a second connection with a second controller corresponding to a second zone of the network;
- receive configuration data to establish a second virtual access point corresponding to the second controller,
- wherein the first zone and the second zone are separated by a air gap which allows the first controller to manage one or more settings of the first virtual access point without affecting the second controller from separately managing one or more settings of the second virtual access point.
A method, comprising:
- sending, by multi-connection access point, a first connection request to a first controller corresponding to a first zone of a network;
- receiving, by the multi-connection access point, configuration data from the first controller to generate a first virtual access point on the access point;
- sending, by the multi-connection access point, a second connection request to a second controller corresponding to a second zone of the network, wherein the first controller and the second controller are different controllers;
- receiving, by the multi-connection access point, configuration data from the second controller to generate a second virtual access point on the access point,
- wherein the first zone and the second zone are separated by a air gap which allows the first controller to manage one or more settings of the first virtual access point without affecting the second controller from separately managing one or more settings of the second virtual access point.
