Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention allow authorization for a particular device or user to have access into a particular network so as to be bound to a specific domain or VLAN (virtual local area network). When authorization is tied to a domain, several devices can be authenticated into a single physical port of a network access device (e.g., access switch) and still only be given access to the one or more domam(s) or VLAN(s) that they are authorized to access based on their individual independent authorization outcomes.
