    Abstract: Some examples relate to controlling network traffic pertaining to a domain name based on a Domain Name System-Internet Protocol address (DNS-IP) mapping, An example includes receiving, in a cloud computing system, a local DNS-IP mapping for a domain name from respective Access Points (APs) in a virtual local area network (VLAN) along with geographical information of respective APs; generating a global DNS-IP mapping database comprising the local DNS-IP mapping for the domain name received from respective APs in the VLAN along with geographical information of respective APs, in the cloud computing system; and determining appropriate APs to distribute the global DNS-IP mapping, based on location information of respective APs.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to host discovery for firewall coordination. An embodiment of a storage medium includes instructions for discovering a network topology for a network branch, the network branch including multiple access points including a first access point, the first access point having an interface to a network, the discovery of the network topology including identifying any access point that is linked to the first access point directly or via one or more intermediary access points; discovering one or more host devices that are connected by wireless or wired connections to one or more access points in the network branch; and generating a firewall coordination plan for the network branch based on the discovered network topology and the discovered one or more hosts, the firewall coordination plan including applying a firewall process for an access point to which a first host device is attached and bypassing one or more other firewall processes.

    Abstract: In some examples, as part of an authentication process for an electronic device when connecting to a first access point (AP), an authentication server generates a first key of a hierarchy of keys. The authentication server receives a request from a second AP, and generates a second key based on the first key, the second key being part of the hierarchy of keys. In response to the request, the authentication server distributes the second key from the authentication server to the second AP for use in data protection for communications between the second AP and the electronic device after the electronic device has transitioned from the first AP to the second AP.

    Abstract: Examples relate to maintaining consistent cluster data across a cluster in a network. A computing system may receive a first signature of a first state of the cluster data present at a leader gateway and a plurality of signatures of a plurality of states of the cluster data present at a plurality of member network devices of the cluster. The cluster may include a plurality of gateways including the leader gateway and a plurality of member gateways. The member network devices may include the plurality of member gateways and a plurality of interconnecting network devices. In response to determining that a signature of the plurality of signatures received from one of the member network devices is different from the first signature, the computing system may send a message to one of the plurality of gateways to update the cluster data at the member network device to represent the first state.

    Abstract: 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.
