Abstract

An access point of a network configured to derive basic service set identifiers (BSSIDs). The access point determines a base media access control (MAC) address associated with an access point. The access point computes an offset for at least one radio of the access point. The access point determines a radio-specific MAC address for the at least one radio of the access point by incrementing the base MAC address by the offset. The access point then derives a plurality of BSSIDs for the at least one radio of the access point based on the radio-specific MAC address. In some cases, the access point determines a radio from which a BSSID is provided based on the BSSID.
