System and Method for Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Assignment

A system for virtual local area network (VLAN) assignment, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory, the at least one memory having encoded thereon a sequence of instructions which, when loaded and executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
• identify, automatically, whether a network-enabled device is associated with a previously assigned VLAN for a network, the network-enabled device having passed authentication, the authentication responsive to a request sent from the network-enabled device to network equipment for access to the network;
• and
• based on a result of the identifying, automatically (i) select a VLAN from a pool of dynamically assignable VLANs, (ii) associate the VLAN selected with the network-enabled device, and (iii) instruct the network equipment to assign the network-enabled device to the VLAN selected from the pool.
