Abstract
A method includes after determining that a first type of communication path to a self-organizing network controller is not available at an access point that supports a first wireless local area network, selecting, by an agent application at the access point, a second type of communication path to the self-organizing network controller from a prioritized set of communication paths. The method also includes attempting to establish a communication connection to the self-organizing network controller using the second type of communication path.
