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: A system and method for dynamically assigning VLANs to devices for reliable, high performance and low support volume mechanism that allows service providers to affordably deploy dynamic per-unit VLAN assignment with zero operator intervention provisioning.
