Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An example access point may comprise a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to: perform a management system search using a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP); determine, in view of the management system search, whether a management system discovered is a controller; and select one of a first role within a centralized local area network and a second role within a distributed local area network based on determining whether the management system is the controller, wherein the first role within the centralized local area network is selected when the management system is the controller.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to: search a network for management systems using a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), a domain name system (DNS), and a local broadcast service; determine, in view of searching the network, whether the management systems discovered include a controller; determine, in view of searching the network, whether the management systems discovered include a distributed management system; and pair an access point with one of the controller and the distributed management system based on determining whether the management systems discovered include the controller and based on determining whether the management systems discovered include the distributed management system. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing resource, when pairing the access point, is further to: pair the access point with the controller when the management systems discovered include the controller. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing resource, when pairing the access point, is further to: pair the access point with the distributed management system when the management systems discovered include the distributed management system. 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing resource, when pairing the access point, is further to: pair the access point with the controller when the management systems discovered include the controller and the distributed management system. 5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the distributed management system is one of a plurality of distributed management systems and wherein the processing resource, when determining whether the management systems discovered include the distributed management system, is further to: determine that the management systems discovered include the plurality of distributed management systems. 6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processing resource, when pairing the access point with the one of the controller and the distributed management system, is further to: pair the access point with a prioritized distributed management system of the plurality of distributed management systems, wherein the prioritized distributed management system is selected by prioritizing a first set of distributed management systems discovered by the search of the network using the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) over a second set of distributed management systems discovered by the search of the network using the domain name system (DNS), wherein the first and second set are a part of the plurality of distributed management systems. 7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the prioritized distributed management system is selected by prioritizing the second set over a third set of distributed management systems discovered by the search of the network using the local broadcast service, wherein third set is a part of the plurality of distributed management systems.
