A computer readable medium storing instructions with functionality for: receiving a first request, from a first client device in a particular IP subnet, to identify a MAC address that corresponds to a particular IP address in the particular IP subnet; transmitting a first response to the first client device that identifies a first MAC address, of a first network device in the particular IP subnet, as the MAC address that corresponds to the particular IP address; receiving a second request, from a second client device in the particular IP subnet, to identify the MAC address that corresponds to the particular IP address; transmitting a second response to the second client device that identifies a second MAC address, of a second network device in the particular IP subnet, as the MAC address that corresponds to the particular IP address, the second MAC address being different than the first MAC address.

Distributed gateway for local subnet

The present disclosure discloses a network device and/or method for centralized configuration with dynamic distributed address management. The disclosed network device receives, at a first network node, a range of sub network addresses and a specified size for a sub network. The disclosed network device then divides the range of sub network addresses into a plurality of sub-ranges of sub network addresses based on the specified size. Further, the network device allocates the plurality of sub-ranges of sub network addresses to a plurality of sub networks, and transmits an allocated sub-range of sub network addresses to a corresponding sub network at a second network node through an established secure communication channel. Moreover, the network device can retrieve a profile template that includes the range of sub network addresses and the specified size of the sub network; and create a profile based on the profile template.

Centralized configuration with dynamic distributed address management

The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for determining whether to use a local authentication server. Specifically, a first network device executing a first authentication server receives a request for authentication from a client device. The first network device determines whether the client device was previously successfully authenticated by a second authentication server executing on a second network device within a particular period of time. If so, the first network device attempts to authenticate the client device using the first authentication server. Otherwise, the first network device declines the request for authentication from the client device.

Determining whether to use a local authentication server

A system includes: multiple access points, the multiple access points including at least a first access point and a second access point; the system performs operations including: receiving, by the second access point from a client device, a data packet to be transmitted to a device outside of the system; forwarding the data packet by the second access point to the first access point; assigning, by the first access point, a first sequence number to the data packet to be used for transmitting the data packet outside of the system; transmitting the data packet with the first sequence number to the device outside of the system.
