Examples described herein provide wake-up of a network device. Examples include receiving, by a network interface of a first network device having a first Media Access Control (MAC) address, a request to wake-up a second network device having a second MAC address that is assigned to a same subnet as the first MAC address, and in response to the request, generating, by the first network device, a first wake-up frame having a destination address of the second MAC address and configured to cause the second network device to transition from operating in the first power mode to operating in the second power mode. Examples include transmitting, by the network interface of the first network device, the first wake-up frame to the second MAC address of the second network device.

Wake-up by a network device

An access point configured to manage client devices connected to the access point. The access point initiates an operational change. The access point generates an announcement to be included in a network frame based on the operational change. The announcement includes at least a list of neighboring access points with which the client devices can connect to and a first time period by which the client devices must connect to at least one neighboring access point included in the list of neighboring access points. The access point broadcasts the network frame to the client devices. Upon expiration of the first time period, the access point disassociates client devices that remain connected to the access point.

Managing client devices on access points

Example method includes: reporting, by a network device, a detection of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon message from a first BLE device deployed in a wireless local area network (WLAN) serving a plurality of tenants; receiving, by the network device, information about a first tenant assigned to the first BLE device from a server; determining, by the network device, a first universally unique identifier (UUID) uniquely corresponding to the first tenant; and configuring, by the network device, the first BLE device to broadcast a first plurality of BLE beacon messages using the first UUID, wherein a second and different BLE device deployed in the WLAN is configured to broadcast a second plurality of BLE beacon messages using a second UUID that is different from the first UUID, the second UUID uniquely corresponding to a second tenant different from the first tenant in the plurality of tenants.
