Abstract
An access controller is coupled to a plurality of physical access points. The access controller is operable to create a plurality of virtual access controllers that are each coupled to the plurality of physical access points. The access controller then creates a different virtual access point for each of the plurality of virtual access controllers, and associates the virtual access point of each virtual access controller with each of the plurality of physical access points coupled to that virtual access controller. The access controller then provides a plurality of different wireless subnetworks through each of the plurality of physical access points, with each virtual access controller providing one of the different wireless subnetworks using the virtual access point associated with each of the plurality of physical access points coupled to that virtual access controller.
