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 first 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; and
connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to determining that the primary VLAN tunnel is inactive.

Abstract
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 DHCP profile of a client device, the first tunnel tag identifying a primary 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 number of detected access failures; and connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to determining that the primary VLAN tunnel is inactive.

8. 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; and connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to the primary VLAN tunnel being inactive. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. 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; and connect the client device to the secondary VLAN tunnel in response to determining that the primary VLAN tunnel is inactive. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
