COMMUNICATION CHANNELS BETWEEN ACCESS POINTS AND NETWORK ZONES
First Claim
1. An access point comprising:
- a first Ethernet port;
a second Ethernet port that is different from the first Ethernet port;
a processing resource; and
a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to;
create a first communication channel between the access point and a first network zone using the first Ethernet port; and
create a second communication channel between the access point and a second network zone using the second Ethernet port, wherein the first and second network zones are independently configured with respective first and second network zone controllers; and
wherein the first and second communication channels are to exist simultaneously.

Abstract
In an example, an access point includes a first and second Ethernet port, a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions. The machine readable instructions may be to cause the processing resource to create a first communication channel between the access point and a first network zone using the first Ethernet port and to create a second communication channel between the access point and a second network zone using the second Ethernet port. The first and second network zones may be independently configured with respective first and second zone controllers and the first and second communication channels may exist simultaneously.

9. A method comprising:
-
establishing, by an access point, a first communication channel between a network access point and a first network zone controller using a first Ethernet port of the network access point; and while the first communication channel exists, establishing, by the access point, a second communication channel, wherein the second communication channel is formed between the network access point and a second network zone controller using a second Ethernet port of the access point. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
-
establishing a first secure tunnel between a network access point and a first network zone controller using a first Ethernet port of the network access point, establishing a second secure tunnel, wherein the second secure tunnel is formed between the network access point and a second network zone controller using a second Ethernet port of the network access point. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
