    摘要: A MoCA network management device, e.g. a MoCA controller (40), is configured to enable data communication between client devices that are connected to different MoCA end devices in a MoCA Access network, by providing a redirection function for the MoCA end devices that are configured to be included in a VLAN within the MoCA Access network. For example, the VLAN may include MoCA end devices (M1-M4) in different rooms of a building. The MoCA network management device, which is installed intermediate the MoCA end devices (M1-M4) and an external data channel (30), is configured to receive outgoing data generated by client devices (61-65) that are connected to the MoCA end devices (M1-M4), access a database containing identifiers that are associated with the MoCA end devices (M1-M4) in the VLAN, and selectively, based on the database, redirect the outgoing data to a selected MoCA end device among the MoCA end devices (M1-M4) in the VLAN.
