Abstract
In an example, a switch may receive an authentication request from a host associated with a first wireless access point (WAP) connected to the switch. The switch acts as a VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) based Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN). The switch forwards the authentication request to an authentication server and on successful authentication of the host, may associate a role information with the host based on an authentication response from the authentication server. Further, the switch may create a BGP extended community field carrying the role identifier indicative of network policies to be implemented for the host and attach the BGP extended community field with a route advertisement. The switch then sends the route advertisement to another switch. The another switch is configured as a peer VTEP in the VXLAN. The switch and the another switch is configured in a single Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).
