    Abstract: Techniques to perform an operation comprising determining, by a local area network (LAN) controller, that a first device has connected to a predefined service set identifier (SSID) of a first wireless access point (AP), of a plurality of wireless APs, receiving, by the LAN controller from the first device, an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) response specifying a destination address of a first private LAN controller associated with a first private network, creating, by the LAN controller based on the destination address, a Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnel between the first wireless AP and the first private LAN controller, and configuring, by the LAN controller, the first wireless AP to broadcast a private SSID associated with the first private network, wherein the first device accesses the first private network via the CAPWAP tunnel by connecting to the first wireless AP using the private SSID.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for handling MAC address collision within an ESS comprising at least one wireless station and at least one access point (AP). An AP receives a first IRM address during execution of a handshake protocol between the AP and a wireless station. The AP determines that the first IRM address is allocated for use by another wireless station and then transmits a message to the wireless station. The AP receives a first wireless action frame transmitted by the wireless station after execution of the handshake protocol, where the wireless action frame includes a second IRM address selected by the wireless station. The AP establishes a wireless connection with the wireless station in a subsequent association with the wireless station using the second IRM.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for handling MAC address collision within an ESS comprising at least one wireless station and at least one access point (AP). A wireless station selects a first Identifiable Random Media Access Control (MAC) (IRM) address, and sends the IRM address to the AP during execution of a handshake protocol. The wireless station receives a message from the AP indicating the selected IRM address is allocated for use by another wireless station. Responsive to the message, the wireless station selects a second IRM address different from the first IRM address, and transmits the second IRM address to the AP after execution of the handshake protocol. The wireless station uses the second IRM address in a subsequent association with the wireless AP or any other AP in a same extended service set (ESS) of the wireless AP.
