Design consideration for running multiple networks #2

Closed lalithsuresh closed 11 years ago

lalithsuresh commented 12 years ago

Odin's current setup assigns each client a single LVAP, which corresponds to a single-network (from the perspective of the client). Consider support for multiple LVAPs per client.

Are we talking about the infamous guest access ? or the ability to see see multiple networks?

lalithsuresh commented 12 years ago

Guest access would follow from the latter.

rmerz commented 12 years ago

Ok. so could explain which problem you want to solve?

lalithsuresh commented 12 years ago

For guest-access or in general, presenting a client with multiple networks that it may connect to, we need to have multiple LVAPs per client. Each LVAP (or network) can have it's own authentication mechanism as well (for instance, a regular network can be WPA2 Enterprise protected, whereas a guest network would be open).

So in short, we need some refactoring/re-designing at the master.
