Assign tunnel tag identifying virtual local area network tunnel
First Claim
1. An access point, comprising:
- a processing resource; and
a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to;
assign a first tunnel tag to a first dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) profile of a client device, the first tunnel tag identifying a primary virtual local area network (VLAN) tunnel to a first network controller of a first data center;
assign a second tunnel tag to a second DHCP profile of the client device, the second tunnel tag identifying a secondary VLAN tunnel to a second network controller of a second data center;
determine whether the primary VLAN tunnel to the first network controller is inactive based on a threshold number of detected access failures;
connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to determining that the primary VLAN tunnel is inactive;
receive, from the client device, an address resolution protocol (ARP) request; and
transmit, to the client device, an internet protocol (IP) address of the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to the ARP request.

7. An access point, comprising:
-
a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to; assign a first tunnel tag to a first dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) profile of a client device, the first tunnel tag identifying a primary virtual local area network (VLAN) tunnel to a first network controller of a first data center; assign a second tunnel tag to a second DHCP profile of the client device, the second tunnel tag identifying a secondary VLAN tunnel to a second network controller of a second data center; determine whether the primary VLAN tunnel to the first network controller is inactive; terminate broadcasting a service set identifier (SSID) to the client device for a predetermined time period to cause the client device to be disconnected from the primary VLAN tunnel; connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to the primary VLAN tunnel being inactive, receive, from the client device, an address resolution protocol (ARP) request and transmit, to the client device, an internet protocol (IP) address of the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to the ARP request. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system, comprising:
-
an access point; a first network controller of a first data center, the first network controller being connected to the access point; and a second network controller of a second data center, the second network controller being connected to the access point, wherein the system is to; assign a first tunnel tag to a first dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) profile of a client device, the first tunnel tag identifying a primary virtual local area network (VLAN) tunnel to the first network controller; assign a second tunnel tag to a second DHCP profile of the client device, the second tunnel tag identifying a secondary VLAN tunnel to the second network controller; determine whether the primary VLAN tunnel to the first network controller is inactive based on a number of detected access failures; engage the access point in a bid process with the second network controller of the second data center; connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to determining that the primary VLAN tunnel is inactive; provide the access point with a subnet from the second network controller of the second data center; receive, from the client device, an address resolution protocol (ARP) request; and provide, to the client device, an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to the ARP request. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
