Abstract
Techniques are described for integrating cellular access within an enterprise fabric. In one example, a method includes obtaining, by a cellular termination function via a cellular access point, a request from a client for data plane connectivity via a network, wherein the cellular access point is registered within the network and is in communication with a first switch of the network; obtaining, by the cellular termination function, cellular policy information and enterprise policy information for the client; obtaining, by the cellular termination function, an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the client; and establishing data plane connectivity for the client with the network via the cellular access point, the first switch of the network, and a second switch of the network based, at least in part, on the IP address for the client, wherein the second switch connects the network with one or more data networks.
