MAPPING BETWEEN WIRELESS LINKS AND VIRTUAL LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A first network device comprising a processor to:
- establish a plurality of links associating between the first network device and a second network device, the plurality of links corresponding to a plurality of virtual local area networks (VLANs) that a plurality of client devices associated with the first network device belong to;
create a mapping between the plurality of links and the plurality of VLANs; and
forward data received from a particular client device among the plurality of client devices in a particular VLAN of the plurality of VLANs to the second network device via a particular link corresponding to the particular VLAN based on the mapping.
