Abstract: The present systems and methods enable Internet service providers and managed service providers to deploy a segmented network for multiple subscribers on a shared active Ethernet distribution medium, where each subscriber can be associated with one or more unique public IP addresses, and each subscriber also has control of their own gateway configuration. The system leverages the per-subscriber dynamic 802.1q VLAN approach enforced through compatible wireless and wireline distribution equipment in combination with optional multiple PSK zero-touch LAN onboarding and public IP WAN address assignment mechanisms, along with an onboard multi-tenant subscriber portal. The result is a network architecture that incorporates per-subscriber segmentation and security features, while simultaneously providing centralized radio resource management, property-wide roaming, instantaneous onboarding, and the like.

Abstract: An inventive system related to implementation of dynamic virtual local area network (VLAN) assignment and provisioning in communication networks. The inventive system enables per-room 802.1q VLANs that are enforced through 802.1X distribution equipment. This inventive system enables facilities such as hotels to implement per-room VLANs to increase security and efficiency in handling a plurality of devices brought in by guests as well as devices that are provided by the facility itself.
