Abstract
A device may control a network based on the position of a client, and may be configured to determine a position of a client within the network. The device may determine whether the client is located inside a zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client, and then identify a zone in which the client is located upon determining that the client is located inside one of the established zones. The device may apply a profile associated with the identified zone to the client, and then determine a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone. The network may appear to the client as an isolated network for the identified zone.
Claims25
A method, comprising:
- determining a position of a client;
- determining whether the client is located inside one zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client;
- identifying a zone in which the client is located upon determining that the client is located inside one zone from the plurality of established zones;
- applying a profile associated with the identified zone to the client;
- and
- determining a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone.
A device, comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions stored in memory to:
- determine a position of a client,
- determine whether the client is located inside one zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client,
- identify a zone where the client is located in response to determining that the client is located inside one zone from the plurality of established zones,
- apply a profile to the client which is associated with the identified zone, and
- determine a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a position of a client,
- determine whether the client is located inside one zone from a plurality of established zones based on the determined position of the client,
- identify a zone where the client is located in response to determining that the client is located inside one zone from the plurality of established zones,
- apply a profile to the client which is associated with the identified zone, and
- determine a logical network identifier for the client based on the identified zone.
