Abstract
In one embodiment, a networking device in a network forms a Wi-Fi association with a node on a first wireless channel. The networking device preforms a passive scan of Wi-Fi Neighbor Awareness Network (NAN) channels and receives a NAN discovery beacon from a NAN via a particular one of the NAN channels during the passive scan. The networking device generates a NAN cluster discovery attribute for the NAN based on the received NAN discovery beacon, and sends the NAN discovery attribute to the node via the first wireless channel, wherein the node uses the NAN discovery attribute to associate with the NAN.
