Abstract:

An information handling system may implement a method for automatically provisioning multi-tenant wireless local area networks. The method may include detecting initiation, by a client in a given tenant, of a provisioning of a wireless local area network (LAN), and creating, automatically and in response to the detecting, a secure wireless LAN, where the LAN is to be isolated from clients in other tenants. Creating the secure wireless LAN may include allocating a virtual local area network (VLAN) on behalf of the tenant, associating the VLAN with the tenant, and associating a locally unique identifier with the VLAN. The method may also include determining, subsequent to the creating, that a disconnection condition for the VLAN has been met, and dismantling, automatically and in response to the determination, the VLAN, where dismantling the VLAN may include disassociating the locally unique identifier from the VLAN, and deallocating the VLAN.

Abstract:

An information handling system includes a top of rack having a port, and a server having a network interface card and a controller. The port of the top of the rack transmits a link aggregation control protocol (LACP) packet. The network interface card receives the LACP packet from the port of the top of rack, and forwards the LACP packet. The controller receives the LACP packet from the network interface card, and to determine whether to update or create a bond associated with the port and a destination virtual machine of the LACP packet. The LACP packet is transmitted from the bond to the network interface card, and in response to the LACP packet being received at the network interface card, the LACP packet is provided to the destination virtual machine.
